But that would break the ability for that code to call existing libraries
(including the MS runtime), I think - which would be quite broken/unusable,
so far as I know.

What dependence does this application have on the size of certain
structures? That seems quite not-cross-platform to me & the code probably
should be changed to be flexible to the different size of layouts on
different platforms.
