Wrong list.  This is an FAQ for the MinGW list, not Cygwin
(i.e. <http://mingw.org/mingwfaq.shtml#faq-msvcdll>).

Yes, there are lots of differences.  In general, you're not
going to have much luck linking C++ code compiled with
different compilers.  This is not really a Cygwin or
MinGW issue but rather a language issue.  You may want
to do a little research on the differences between C and
C++.
