in Cygwin environment ?

If I understand your question, this depends on the your selection on the compiler command line. gcc defaults to "387" (80387) format. Normally, if you care, you would set something like -march=pentium-m, and, if you wish, -mfpmath=sse . All the usual data types are present (float, double, long double) and the storage is little-endian, same as any other compiler for the same CPU.
