That's what he's telling you.  However, you have to interact with the MS
ABI(*) as well as soon as you call external library functions so it
makes sense to keep your C code in MS ABI.  For the assembler functions,
you can just tell the compiler they are in SYSV ABI by adding a function
attribute to the declaration:

int asm_func (args) __attribute__ ((sysv_abi))

Good luck,
Corinna

(*) Just keep in mind that Cygwin is LP64, not LLP64:
