It's not the compilers code, it's the libc you are linking against. If
you can convince MSVC to link against libcygwin.a (an import lib for
cygwin1.dll) and kernel32.lib, then you can use the Cygwin code.

Also, please note that you should be able to compile *most* code for
MSVC under gcc if you generate an appropriate makefile.
