He meant in a winelib when a winelib links against msvcrt (-nocygwin on 
the winegcc command line). Only the C symbols and  a few C++ (new & 
delete) are exported from wine's msvcrt.spec so only these get linked. 
The rest of the C++ symbols are looked for else where. His current 
problem, though, is Header compatibility.
When you don't use "-nocygwin" than lots of Windows originating code 
(like MFC) does not compile.
