The last I saw, there was a big discussion about this on the gcc mailing
list and everyone agreed that gcc was not going to change anytime soon.
As always, it is possible to link some C objects between MSVC and gcc.
It isn't possible to link C++ objects which export symbols.
However if you think this has changed why not post a URL which explains
how this came to be?
