Maybe others will not find your post as confusing as I did.  I agree 
that 64-bit gcc supports 64-bit int, but there is no 64-bit gcc for 
cygwin.  long long, on 32-bit platforms like cygwin, is made up from 2 
32-bit integers.  printf(), I believe, is part of newlib.  "the library" 
isn't very descriptive, but I would have thought, in this context, it 
might refer to the libraries built by gcc, which doesn't appear to be 
what you mean, even though you say "gcc library."  newlib doesn't 
pretend to have as much C99 support as GNU libc.
