DLLs aren't _that_ bad ;)  The ABI is not the problem, the different runtimes are.  MSVC compilers target their own C runtime, mingw uses the one that comes with Windows (much more sensible).  Different runtimes will have different allocators, etc and generally it will all end in tears unless modules take special care not to use the C library - possible but awkward and non-portable.
