There isn't one for the filesystem lib.

I've never seen errors like that: make doubly sure that if you are linking
to the debug runtime then you should link to the debug filesystem lib,
otherwise you could just add the filesystem source files (in
libs/filesystem/src) directly to your project rather than the lib file.
