GCC does not support MFC, sorry. 

two issues:

1. MFC is a C++ library, and hence needs to compiled with GCC to be usable
   with GCC code. I don't know if anyone has modified MFC to be compilable
   with GCC yet (it uses quite a few MS-specific extensions).

2. If you succeed with step 1, there are issues with copyright, so you may 
    or may not be able to redistribute the resulting DLL.
