This is by design. 8.3 is build with Visual C++ instead of mingw, which of
course doesn't generate the nonstandard .a files.
If you're linking against it with mingw, IIRC you can link directly against
the DLL. If that doesn't work, there are tools out there to generate import
libraries from the DLL file.
