Egor, I think we do need something like that.  I have just uploaded a beta
(binaries, src, and diffs) of mingw gcc with fastcall support for mingw at
SF file release site.
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435&release_id=60167
It is for 2.95.3 but the changes have also been tested successfully on gcc
trunk (and 3.0.2) with mingw bootstrap. My problem has been trying to make
the diffs public within the w32 crowd and getting some feedback before
going to gcc-patches.

The mingw patchset referred to above addresses a similar isssue (leading
'+'  in names for fastcall symbols, that have to be converted to
'@' before passing to assembler)
