Hello Neil -

The fact that Linux will mount FAT partitions and read the
directories would indicate that there _are_ libraries available
to emulate findfirst and findnext that 'gcc' can use. 

The existence or non-existence of code for a GNU compiler is
not proof of anything in particular other than the completeness
or lack-thereof of code available for that compiler. Like it or
not DOS precedes GNU and Linux, not the other way around.
