I believe what you are asking for is support for the visual C++ ABI in GCC.

Not that I know much about GCC but from what I have heard, there are things 
in GCC that make it harder to implement and things in Open Watcom that make 
it easier to implement.

Just as an aside, I was trying to add Thread Local Storage (i.e. the 
__thread keyword from visual C++) to GCC and I was unable to implement it 
because I was unable to figure out the correct RTL and other code to add.
