libraries on the Win64 target, which're generated by GCC newer than 4.8.1,
due to the new refptr.* and .refptr.* symbols-can-be-multiple-defined stuff
(inside one single .a library file), which was introduced in newer GCC
versions.

rename all duplicated symbols for statically linking FPC with C++ code (I
have improved cppclass type). My tool uses objconv :
http://www.agner.org/optimize/#objconv . Rename for symbols is simple with
few commands for objconv ("-dfhs" to list symbols and "-nr" to rename).

Improvements for cppclass are definitely welcome :)
