Watch this:

(vhaisman@fiona)[1010] /cygdrive/c/wilx
$ cat pebkac.cxx
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

typedef int gint;
typedef int int32;
void foo (gint x)
{
  cout << x;
}

int main ()
{
  int32 x = 2;
  foo (x);
}

(vhaisman@fiona)[1011] /cygdrive/c/wilx
$ g++ -Wall -Wextra -ansi -pedantic -o pebkac pebkac.cxx

(vhaisman@fiona)[1012] /cygdrive/c/wilx
$ g++ -v

gcc version 3.4.4 (cygming special, gdc 0.12, using dmd 0.125)

It just works. You are doing something wrong. There is nothing wrong
with GCC 3.4 in this respect.
