Yes, if you truly restrict yourself to ANSI C and don't depend on libraries 
and non-ANSI include files which invariably differ from cygwin.  The cygwin 
developers have done an amazing job of making cygwin into a standard gnu 
compiler host, so you get excellent cross-platform compatibility.  This goal 
fortunately appears to be kept in mind by most of those who are working at 
the same time to get more Windoze compatibility.
