Couldn't one just compile the performance critical chess engine
code with MSVC (under Windows) and produce x86 asm source output
then combine in linux these .asm files (after replacing some of MSVC
masm directives if necessary) with the rest of non-engine .c code
with GCC, to get the best of both worlds. OS overhead would surely
be smaller under linux.
