You'll find the topics you raised beaten nearly to death in the mailing 
list archives.  While it's not too difficult to build current g++ (without 
cygwin special patches) on Cygwin, I haven't found anything but 
performance loss for the resulting OpenMP.  Others have discussed the 
weaknesses of the attempting increased usage of exception handling.
