Apart from renegotiating your job terms ;) , i guess vbox should work fine. (by fine i mean about 100 times slower than native compile ofcourse, but hey it will work unlike cygwin.) You might also want to try co-linux (google pls), It lets you run linux kernel natively side by side windows kernel (not in a vm, but as a windows process with special hacks to windows kernel itslef). Has obviously better performance than a VM. I had tried it once before (when interestingly i was stuck in a similar situation as yours). but that was long back and i don't know the current state of affairs in that area.
