well, to quote from Tobias, who in turn probably quoted from Kai from mingw-w64:
"binutils cannot read the newer object format produced by VC >= 2005"
so I guess I wouldn't want to try and find this out myself the hard way.

Without knowing what exactly you try to achieve, I can only suggest
you go for the == def-alias, i.e. marry your VS code with gfortran
across a dll boundary, where you have pretty good control on naming
conventions and no worries about different object formats.
You may even have the choice between using gfortan + dlltool/dllwrap
to control the exports, or cl with the /MAP:filename option to control
the imports. I successfully used the first, but never tried the latter
(if you do, please let us know what your experiences are).

Cheers,
