I am not a C programmer, but it sounds like I should be able to use gcc and
dlltool to build a Wintel DLL.

It is unclear from reading the Cygwin User's Guide if I will actually be
able to link this DLL with other programming languages outside the Cygwin
environment.

Is the Cygwin, gcc route a more straightforward way to compile a Linux,
POSIX compliant library than using a Wintel compliler?

Thanks,

Terry
