Which version of gcc are you using? I know that only recently has gcc 
made itself compatible with the C++ name mangling standard, whatever 
that is. I have no idea if MSVC++ is compatible with it.

In general, you have to compile everything with the same compiler to get 
it to link correctly.

I believe it's not just a matter of symbol names, but also of calling 
convention - so one lot of code will put arguments on the stack in a 
different way to that expected by the other lot. This can't be fixed by 
post-processing.

Maybe the gcc lists are a better place to ask.
