Mixing Unix and WIN32?

Why doesn't this work?
I am trying to build a toy applicatin to prove that I can do this in
CygWIN32.
(so far, I can't).
It's an RPC-based program, so it needs to access WIN32 headers and
libraries.
It keeps stumbling over things that the gnu compiler apparently doesn't know
about:
 - like __asm. OK, I worked around that (I think)
 - like __try: The IDL compiler (midl) puts exception handling in the
stub code
 it generates, using, e.g. a macro name RpcTryFinally, which is
defined
 in rpc.h to "__try {". This comes up as an undefined reference.
I'm doing comparative evaluations, and this stuff just builds snicker-snack,
as my
old prof used to say, in U/WIN.
Why can't I get it to work in CygWIN32? What am I missing?
Thanks,
Randy
