If the ABI of your MS VC++ compiled relocateable files is compatible
with Linux, you may just link them directly. You need to enable
i386-pe in your linker and use
# objcopy --remove-leading-char foo.o
to remove the leading '_' in foo.o. The Linux binutils binary on
www.kernel.org has i386-pe enabled.
