Yes, it works for me.
I have the latest version of Eclipse Galileo (3.5.2?) and I've Cygwin 
1.7 up to date.

Notice, anyway, that I don't heavily use it (e.g. I compile only one 
file at time choosing "Build selected item" on project explorer).

I hadn't to do anything strange to make Eclipse recognize Cygwin 1.7 
(anyway notice that I previously had Cygwin 1.5).

It's worth noticing that with the default Eclipse configuration I wasn't 
able to compile using gcc/g++.

This was due to the fact that in Cygwin 1.7 gcc, g++, etc. are symbolic 
links (alternatives?) that are marked as executables. This causes 
Eclipse to believe they are Win32 executables and make it to try to 
execute them (Eclipse doesn't understand Cygwin's symlinks).

To fix this (but maybe this has already been discussed in this list), in 
Eclipse preferences just change the references to gcc, g++ putting 
instead the names of the real executables (g++-3, gcc-3, etc.)

Ciao,
