That's what I though, but:

#include <windows.h>
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
        MessageBox (NULL, "Hello Win32", "First App", MB_OK);
return 0;
}

compiles, links and runs under W32, but gives an Invalid Format +
"error 21" under win32s. Same thing compiled with RSXNT runs on both
platforms. What gives?

Hm. Has anyone tried this with a newer set of libraries/binutils than
mine (I used the linux crosscompiler from Werner Koch)?

Here's another clue: 

the RSXNT executable runs under WINE on Linux, but the mingw32 one
dies with

No handler for Win32 routine CRTDLL.107: _fpreset (called from 00401055)
