It uses the gcc linker and library, and as you've noticed, also pretends  
to be it - implementing some gcc extensions (and maybe bugs?) that it  
doesn't on windows. So it's meant to work as a replacement for gcc without  
much hassle. I think on windows it has a similar relationship with Visual  
C++.

Yes, that works.
