#1)  This is not a cygwin issue, so it's off-topic here.
#2)  This is not even really a gcc issue, it's a C++ issue.
#3)  The problem is that you are trying to use static_cast too much.  It 
should only be used for built-in types (int, float, various pointers).

The older gcc seemed to allow incorrect use of static_cast, the new one 
requires you to use it right.

Just remove the static casts, and away we are:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
   A a(1);
   auto_ptr<B> b = auto_ptr<B>(a.getB());
   A a2(2);
   auto_ptr<B> b2 = auto_ptr<B>(a2.getB());
   cin.get();
   return 0;
}

Or even:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
   A a(1);
   auto_ptr<B> b(a.getB());
   A a2(2);
   auto_ptr<B> b2(a2.getB());
   cin.get();
   return 0;
}
