Umm, typically it *is* compiled on Win32 with MSVC++ - that's where the 
Windows binary on the Ethereal site comes from.

Perhaps it doesn't compile with Cygwin or MinGW, but that's another 
matter.  Compiling it once on Win32 wouldn't be sufficient for that - 
it'd have to be compiled twice or 3 times, once with MSVC++, once with 
Cygwin, and once with MinGW.
