To create .o (object) file from .rc (resource) script:
$ windres -i foo.rc -o foo.o
Then you can just link it.
If you want/need an the intermediate .res (binary resource) format :
$ windres -i foo.rc -o foo.res
$ windres -i foo.res -o foo.o
Colin Peters has a short description of resource compiling using GNU
(and other) tools on his Mingw web page.
