This is no longer true with the experimental version of gcc-2 and gcc
3.2 that are available via setup.exe at http://cygwin.com/ .  Both versions
should be close to the same versions as supplied by mingw and the -mno-cygwin
switch should provide the functional equivalent of a mingw compiler.  Both
versions should deal well with C++ out-of-the-box.

Unfortunately, gcc 3.2 relies on some header file changes in cygwin and I
am resolutely trying to get a new release of the cygwin DLL out so that
I can then switch both versions of gcc out of experimental status.  The
problems I'm having with cygwin are of the BSOD variety, so I don't know
when the new release will be.

Sorry if this is off-topic for the mingw list.  I'm just responding to
set the record straight.
