I am using C++ but I am not using the VarCmp() function at all. I am
only including the windows.h header.

I think this is my fault. I am using '-fkeep-inline-functions' GCC
flag for my debug builds. I have not tested but I believe it will work
when I remove the option. I have solved it in the library by linking
to oleaut32.lib.

It is odd that I have never experienced the same issue on 32 bit Cygwin.
