Actually, gcc does support __declspec, but not _declspec. Microsoft
uses _declspec as a synonym for __declspec, but suggests that you
use __declspec in the documentation.

Use the following:
   
   #define _declspec(x) __attribute__((x))

and that should fix the global problem.

fyi, GCC's "specs" define __declspec as the following:

   #define __declspec(x) __attribute__((x))
