I do not think you have to compile your own fltk. I have gcc-3.3.3 and 
fltk 1.1.4 installed on cygwin. both are binaries installed using the 
cygwin installer - I did not compile anything from source. I have no 
problem with the fltk package -- octplot is compiled using g++-3.3.3 and 
linked against fltk and works without problem.

I do agree that it is very annoying that the cygwin installer tries to 
upgrade gcc every time. Well, you know, it's just one more of the many 
little annoyances we have to endure in this life ...
