Yes but Pavel's question to you was, did you compile the code with the f()
function in VC++ as "Debug" or "Release"?  You should compile it as release
and compile the Cygwin main function with "gcc -o foo foo.c vcfoo.obj", where
vcfoo.obj is your VC++ object file compiled as "Release".  I just tried your
example here and it worked fine (note I'm using the VC++ compiler from the
command line).  

% cl -c -Id:/Program\ Files/Microsoft\ Visual\ Studio/VC98/Include/ vcfoo.c
Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 12.00.8804 for 80x86
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1984-1998. All rights reserved.

vcfoo.c
% gcc -o foo foo.c vcfoo.obj
% foo
Hello world


This should be enough to verify for you that this can be done, no?
