Let's see if I understand what you are asking. You want to write c code
that calls fuctions in MSVC.DLL and compile it with gcc?
The way I know to do that is to write the c code as a winelib
program. It would get at the dll with LoadLirary and GetProcAddress.
There is a HOWTO-winelib in <wine>documetation.
