FWIW, I just got a reply from the mingw list. Because msvcrt is distributed with the OS, and msvcr7 is not, GPL compatibility becomes an issue. Specifically, mingw exploits a specific clause in the GPL which allows dependencies on "components of the OS". MSVCRT qualifies here, but MSVCR7 doesn't. So I don't think mingw will support building DLLs which use MSVCR7 for the forseeable future :-( Paul.
