You can link everything, if it works is another questions.

1) The gnu linker must support this format (it support really many),
   perhaps you must compile him self.
2) Make sure that the calling conventions fit.
	callee saves, caller saves, not saved registers (for c compiler),
	register parameter, ...

Than it should work,
