No, I don't think it will work.
GCC used by Cygwin is configured differently than the same GCC version
used by DJGPP. This in itself should be a reason good enough to think
any mixing won't work, since C++ code needs special help from Binutils
configuration and the binary format used for object files (and these
differ between DJGPP and Cygwin). On top of that, a C++ library relies
on the C library, which is again different in Cygwin.
Did I say not to hold your breath? ;-)
Anyway, libstdc++ is not yet released (AFAIK), so what you might have
from Cygwin is probably some beta-quality snapshot. Do you really need
the new features that badly?
