If I do this:

$ x86_64-w64-mingw32-ar  cru liba.a libb.a
$ x86_64-w64-mingw32-ranlib liba.a

The resulting liba.a doesn't work too well:

$ x86_64-w64-mingw32-nm liba.a
x86_64-w64-mingw32-nm: liba.a: File format not recognized

..and other failures.

Should the above work, though?  Alan just kindly fixed a bug that let
objdump correctly tell me what's inside liba.a, so presumably it's a
supported thing to do.  Am I out in left field, though?
