rundll32.exe is just a way of doing FFI from as a command -- there are few different options on UNIX-likr systems for that. The most obvious is ctypes.sh [0].
There are, though, even more sophisticated options than just FFI, like the Witchcraft Compiler Collection [1], which includes among other things an interactive shell.
