I believe that the intention of GCC is that when -ansi is provided 
that the compiler conforms to ANSI C.  Note that for ANSI C, POSIX, 
and OpenGroup Unix standards, requesting the standard compilation 
environment *excludes* any interfaces and functionality which are not 
provided by that specification.  It is necessary to request a standard 
which supplies everything which is needed.  That is why such requests 
are often not made.  In this case, the Windows APIs for loading 
modules are not available.
