Ack! I'd forgotten that there might be some dependencies in libmingw32 and
libmoldname. Off the top of my head I can't find any, but they could be
waiting in there to bite you. On the other hand, the startup files with
__MSVCRT__ defined are included as crt2.o and dllcrt2.o in Mumit's latest
distribution (the specs file I gave switches over to these startup files),
as are the import libraries libmsvcrt.a, libmsvcrt20.a and libmsvcrt40.a.
These are only minimally (pardon the pun) tested however, so no guarantees.

Colin.
