The mingw.org wiki has a page dedicated to this:
http://mingw.org/wiki/MSVC_and_MinGW_DLLs
It describes how to create MSVC import libraries for gcc compiled dll's 
and the other way around.

In order to create MSVC import libraries from a Linux host, you'd 
probably have to copy the lib.exe from MSVC to your Linux environment and 
excute it using wine.

I also recall some references that the .a files coming from mingw-w64 
compiled dll's (not the mingw.org toolchain) can be used directly by MSVC, 
but don't pin me on that.

Kind regards,
