I think you just specify that the output file has
'.res' as its last four characters.

Let's see...I have an application that builds with
either gcc or borland. I use gnu make for both, and
have them both emit a 'my_program.res.o' file. I
delete the windres-built one from the gcc object
directory, copy over the borland-built one, and
relink, and...it works. The '.res.o' file did not
get remade, and the app's dialogs all look fine.
