It's a bug in GCC (incorrectly pops floating point stack in addition to
the regular one!), and has been reported. Unfortunately, I have no idea
when it will be fixed.

You're right that this bug pretty much kills the prospect of using EGCS
to produce loadable functions for VB etc which require WINAPI.
