Subject: gcc 3.1.1 for cygwin generates __imp_symbol

Hi all,

	I'm using gcc 3.1.1 on cygwin (i686) and
	i'm doing something to the tune of 

	gcc -c foo.o $(CFLAGS) foo.c

	and all external references in foo.c are prefixed
	with __imp.
      ^^^^^^^^^^^
	i.e nm foo.o shows something like ...

	U	__imp_external_reference 

	for a function external_reference(). It's desirable
	for me to make generate _external_reference() instead
	since i'm having trouble linking this .o file link
	with other libBAR.a files generated using GNU tools.

	The gcc flags i'm using are ...

	-c -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti -march=pentium 
	-falign-functions=64 -Wa,--no-warn  -finline-functions -O3 

	Please let me know if there is a way of supressing gcc
	from generating the __imp prefix for all externally referenced
	symbols. 

	I looked at the gcc documentation and came it came up with nothing
	on this. Am i missing something or is it just my gray cells fizzing
	out ?

	Appreciate any help/pointers/[M's in RTFM's] on this ;)
