Real Conclusion:

  You are completely wasting your time in a pointless exercise of cobbling
together a bunch of completely incompatible bits of code that just happen to
have the same function names.

  The internals of C runtime libraries and startup code contain deep black
magic and you haven't a hope in hell of getting gcc lib bits to play nicely
with msvc lib bits.  Even if you managed to translate the names, that
doesn't mean the functions expect the same data as arguments nor will they
use the same data structures in memory.

  Sorry to be so negative, but it really isn't worth pursuing.

    cheers, 
      DaveK
