The gcc equivalent of this would be
int nProcesses __attribute__((section(".GLOBALS")) = 0;
int nThreads __attribute__((section(".GLOBALS")) = 0;
However, I have no idea whether this works.
I do know that the technique of using
#define nProcesses (*__imp_nProcesses)
works. (This technique is automated if you use my Makefile.DLLs,
