You can mark it as used with a __GNUC__ ifdef... like this:

#ifdef __GNUC__
__attribute__((used))
#endif
static HRESULT __stdcall fnTextSrv_TxSendMessage(ITextServices *iface,

Hmm, unclear. You would need to change the extern void THISCALL(func)(); to
be the correct prototype.

__typeof__() games might not work.

Adding "thiscall" to gcc would perhaps help in the long run ... :/ Fun fun fun...
