The variable for the .a here is called "a", not "lib". Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>

On Windows, rustc searches both FOO.lib and libFOO.a when passed -lfoo. This means that the check for nonstandard names in the Unix sense is too struct, and indeed it breaks passing for example -lkernel32 (which adds kernel32.lib to the link). Fix this by special casing Windows. Extract the logic to the Rust compiler class for clarity. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
