It's been suggested to use Mozilla's XPCOM, which is similar to MSFT COM but cross platform and with multiple language bindings.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Tech/XPCOM I believe I saw some commentary about Mozilla being a bloated pig, which might weigh against considering xpcom, but I believe it's more of a specification than an implementation, so the bloated-ness may not be such an inherent part in this.
