This is news to me. As long as the obj file has no dependency on static
MS runtime (or other MS static lib), on MS debug heap  or on C++
references they work, with mingw or with -mno-cygwin option.  The other
gotcha is struct layout, which can be fixed with -fnative-struct
option.

The usual problem however is dependency on MS libc[mt].lib
