[Mingw-users] MSVC and GNU linkage: Warning: .drectve `%.*s' unrecognized

[<AWL...@ao...>]

Hi,

I get a strange error when using GCC to link against MSVC
.lib's:

mylib.lib is a MSVC-created object that has a symbol myprog.c needs

$ gcc -c myprog.c
$ gcc -o myprog myprog.o -L. -lmylib
Warning: .drectve `%.*s' unrecognized
Warning: .drectve `%.*s' unrecognized
Warning: .drectve `%.*s' unrecognized
Warning: .drectve `%.*s' unrecognized
$

The final executable myprog.exe works just fine.. but I
am wondering.. what are those warnings supposed to mean?
