No, not shouted at. I don't think cygwin-binutils can do "Distributed
COM (TM microsoft, copyright microsoft blah blah" builds, though, so
it's not really applicable to this discussion.

Unless you want to add Distributed COM support to ld?

("Distributed COM" a.k.a. COM+ a.k.a. .NET a.k.a
Microsoft's-next-marketing-brainstorm is what you mean by 'dcom',
right?)
