I've been playing with a mingw32 EGCS compiler and the MS Platform SDK.
It won't work out of the box. I added these switches to the "predefines"
section of GCC the GCC specs file:
-D_STDCALL_SUPPORTED -D_M_IX86=1 -D_inline=__inline__
-D_cdecl=__attribute__((__cdecl__)) -D__declspec(dllimport)=
You will have to remove, or rewrite some functions in inline assembly from
winnt.h, because they use intel syntax, not AT&T like GNU does.
It works as long as you supply -DWIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN with CFLAGS, and
ignore a flood of GCC warnings. I only tested it on a few trivial
programs, though.
Happy hacking,

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going
to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC1925.
