Unlikely, because GNU/Linux uses a different binary format (ELF). I assumed that you could run commands in that tree. If you send me that file, I might try looking at it with 'nm' I have. AFAIU, it's supposed to be in the same format as MinGW-produced import libraries, so the MinGW 'nm' I have here should work, at least in theory.
