Yes, but once you get it set up in the script...
I don't know how Cygwin handles it (maybe I should download
some source packages - I'll), but the Linux distributions seem
to just split it without recompiling the whole thing various
times with --enable-languages=c++ (you don't need to specify
c), then --enable-languages=c++,java etc.
An example which works and may help Gerrit (I use the resulting
C and C++ packages) is the 3.3.1 script from Slackware -
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/slackware/slackware-current/testing/source/gcc-3.3.1/gcc.SlackBuild
I guess Cygwin doesn't need a separate C++ package.
Space matters when you enable all languages. In the above, the
resulting .tgz packages use 9.116.303 bytes for C and C++, and
more 21.065.308 for the other languages. Uncompressed...
