No, sorry. We're using all kinds of GNU extensions.
You'll need a version of GNU C/C++, version 2.8 or newer or egcs.
We do this kind of on purpose. This way we're lots better portable
and can focus on coding, rather than worrying about all sorts of
strange compiler bugs and issues.
Check-out the windows nt distribution site:

it uses the Cygnus port of the GNU tools:
