If you have to enter MinGW land to perform what the OP wants then that
is a really clear indication that this is off-topic.
I think we've seen an adequate amount of advice for how the OP can
proceed. There was a suggestion that one could look at the disassembled
output from gcc to see how it does things. That's probably the best
advice for how to proceed, regardless of the platform.
