I compiled my test program and with RVCT it's almost twice larger than 
with MS compiler.
Initially, off course I wanted to create an arcive (static lib) and link 
to it, but I was told that it's definetly won't work and I should try 
converting executable. The problem is that archive contains ELF object 
files and I need to convert them to COFF. Objcopy converts them, then I 
can objdump converted files to see the symbols, HOWEVER, ms compiler 
rejects them as corrupted - that's the problem.
