I agree with you, provided you use -ansi -pedantic.  That prints a
non-zero value here under DJGPP 2.03 and gcc 3.2.1.  Since you
have the problem under cygwin (I believe) and it doesn't appear to
be system library/header specific, I suggest YOU file a bug report
with gnu. "info gcc bugs" or "gcc --help" will tell you how to
file.

I am cross-posting this to comp.os.msdos.djgpp.
