When you say "no longer works with C++", I think you actually mean "never
worked with C++".

Presumably you need a version of libstdc++ which was built with msvcrt.dll
in mind rather than dllcrt.dll.  You could probably build this yourself
from the gcc sources.  Apparently others have successfully done this.

I have repeatedly asked for volunteers to provide this for Cygwin's mingw
package but so far no one has stepped forward.
