One of the things I did to solve this was to make sure any OS-specific
functions called the OS's API directly for all compilers, rather than using
the compiler's wrapper functions, so for eg. instead of the Win32 versions
calling _dos_findfirst(), which will call FindFirstFile() anyway, I just
call FindFirstFile() directly.
