see title, https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/16548#discussion_r1623148837
I'd argue it's time to drop any ugly suffix and just go with `phobos2.lib` whn revising this, as on Posix. Note that the 32-bit lib is currently in a `lib32mscoff` directory too, in the install package. So changing this entails the Phobos Makefile, the compiler sc.ini + hardcoded stuff, and the installer repo; possibly more.
the different directory and the smattering of Makefiles changes, compiler sc.ini, etc. was part of the reason that this was such a PITA to try to change it. We should have it configured in one place ideally.
