Assuming you have a vendor supplied function 
	void foo(void);
you will need to declare foo() as
	void foo(void) asm("foo");
in order for gcc/2 to be happy with it.

This advice only applies if the library is 32bit though...

Basically, DLLs and LIBs usually have no pre-pended underscore for symbol
names.  Gcc/2 by default wants pre-pended underscore.  The asm notation
tells gcc/2 that the symbol should really be refered to by a different
name - in this example, I tell gcc that the symbol "foo" should translate
as the symbol "foo" rather than the default translation of "_foo".
