I was planning on sending the question to Mingw32.  I never have been 
totally clear on how separate and distinct Cygwin and Mingw32 are.

I supply the same compiler flags to both under Linux and Cygwin (-O and 
some -D defines).  To my knowledge, I'm not using floating point 
emulation.  But if I was, how would I be able to check?
