On windows xp 64 bits, the choice is easy: there is no working native g++ compiler yet, there are quite a few bugs ( in particular the driver is broken, which means you have to call the compiler, assembler and linker manually). AFAIK, cygwin cannot run 64 bits binaries (cygwin itself is only available on 32 bits for sure), and you can't cross compile easily.
