Hmm, that isn't Ada-specific problem. I remotely remember that there were
some issues of using import libraries with VB. Was it 6? I don't remember
the details. I guess you should use stdcall call convention and then mangle
names of DLL entry points in some way.

But it isn't Ada or GCC issue. I would need to do the same with other
compilers too.
