You're right. If You compile libraries with MinGW (using gcc and not MSVC),
than You must compile applications too with gcc. The only exception are
C libraries. This is by design of gcc. (I don't remember if I've read it
in Gcc
or MinGW forum/faq/documentation)

Moreover MinGW uses MSVCRT.lib from MSVC 6.0 and so You need to link
Your application with that library even if You use a newer compiler.
