Umm. __attribute__((__stdcall__)) is used throughout WINE. It is just one
GCCism, but it is required and applied to all functions. Also __asm__s 
happen, rather large typedef constructs and weird function pointer casts.

We had some trouble with function pointer casts in the past, but usually
applied workarounds.

I have to agree that using of WINE as test suite is not possible as of now.
