I tried to link my gnuwin-generated .o files with static tcl/tk libs that I
compiled with VC 5.0.

I get lots of warnings
 [part of path deleted]/ld: /dos/tcltk/tk42n.lib(./Release/tkWindow.obj): warning:
 ignoring duplicate section `.text' 

and error messages:
C:\Src\Tcl7.6\:563: undefined reference to `errno'
/dos/tcltk/tcl76n.lib(./Debug/tclWinFCmd.obj): In function `TraverseWinTree':
C:\Src\Tcl7.6\:496: undefined reference to `_imp__GetFileAttributesA AT 4'
C:\Src\Tcl7.6\:521: undefined reference to `_imp__FindFirstFileA AT 8'
C:\Src\Tcl7.6\:528: undefined reference to `_imp__GetLastError AT 0'
C:\Src\Tcl7.6\:535: undefined reference to `_imp__FindClose AT 4'
C:\Src\Tcl7.6\:573: undefined reference to `_imp__FindNextFileA AT 8'
C:\Src\Tcl7.6\:577: undefined reference to `_imp__FindClose AT 4'   

Questions:

are the duplicate .text section warnings harmful?

To get rid of the undefined references, do I have to include some gnuwin32 libs,
or should I use libs from VC++?

Is what I am trying to do feasible at all?

And a related question:
Has somebody compiled static tcl/tk libs under gnuwin32?
