Subject:	linking against dlls

I apologize if this problem is covered in the documentation.  I
haven't been able to find an answer, in docs or in newsgroups.

The "Linking Against DLLs" section of the user manual describes a
method which "will only work if the DLL is not stripped. Otherwise you
will get an error message: 'No symbols in foo.dll'"

I wish to link to a DLL which is apparently stripped, since I recieve
this error message.

The documentation does not say whether this is possible or not; maybe
the implication is that it is not possible, I don't know.

Since Visual C++ is able to link against a stripped DLL, my second
more general question is whether cygwin/gcc can
do everything MSVC++ can do.

Thanks in advance.
