The Linux i386 asm in NSPR, xptcall and NSS essentially works out of the
box with gcc on OS/2. In xptcall, you'll have to use that code or an
adaptation of it unless the gcc and MSVC vtables are identical. I would
also be surprised if object files created by ml.exe can be linked with
gcc output; I believe the formats differ.
