I am not sure, because I don't know what specifically "Windows linked 
code" is, or what it means to "handle" it.  Bob, can you clarify please?

In terms of linkage, only the C++-C++ linkage is affected due to the ABI 
difference from 3.4.  Of course, GCC C++ still has no linkage to MSVC 
C++, including parts of the Win32 API that are written in C++, such as GDI+.
