I'm trying to link with the Intel BLAS library, intended for use
with microsoft C and/or the Intel reference compiler. It has some code
in it that references several kernel32 DLL functions with names
__imp__xxx . These are unresolved by ld, and if I try to create an
assembly file that defines them and sets them to the appropriate
gnu interface function, I get program that won't execute:

bash: ./a.exe: (null)
bash$ gdb -nw a.exe

(gdb) run
Starting program: /tmp/a.exe
Error creating process /tmp/a.exe, (error 193)

Obviously this must be an FAQ, but I can't find it.

Thanks.
