Both GCC and MSVC implement the same C and C++ language standards, which
define clearly what type conversions are allowed and which are not. Further,
the rules are different for C and for C++, and different again when references
are involved.
Also your previous example was pretty confused:

That's the C compiler.

That's a C source file.
Clearly this is nothing to do with the examples you have shown us that rely
on C++ references.
BTW, Cygwin has gcc v4 packages available; they're named gcc4, gcc4-core,
gcc4-g++ and so on.
