Umm, for C++ code of course as the name mangling and ABI is
different. But surely, for C code, gcc with -fnative-struct
and using the msvcrt.dll C runtime, and MSVC (cl -MD)
produce totally compatible code? My experience is that an
executable built with gcc can use DLLs built with MSVC, and
vice versa, without problems.
