Hey,

I hope that this isn't a "beaten to death question."

I have a MSVC COFF library, from MSVC 4., 
I need to link it under FreeBSD.

The facts. 

The library is C, not C++ (no name mangling).
The library is portable (no OS specific calls, only standard C).
The library is 32 bit.
The library is HUGE > 4 Meg; > 30 000 functions.
NO SOURCE.  

The needs:

	Link library with gnu ld to produce an a.out.

Knowledge of problem.

	Used cygnus tool chain on X86-cygwin32 to begin BFD - COFF research.
	No success.

Does anyone know how this can be done, or can it be done????

Any help, ideas, books in which to read things, places in which to bury
my head  (a bucket of sand???)  would be excellent.

TIA
