gcc/g++ would give you the wrong ABI (eg. 4 bytes per wide char
instead of 2 bytes), and the special code needed to set up the Windows
memory layout and the thread extension block and structured exception
handling wouldn't get executed, leading to segfaults when you call any
code that tries to access them. That's assuming you can even compile
and link.

That's why you need winegcc/wineg++.
