Yes but select partial platforms stdcall is default. It is up to the
platform to set is default calling method. For some strange reason mingw and cygwin is choosing cdecl. I find it strange since MSVC was different.
Gcc is a uniform build environment. Not a uniform calling convention..

stdcall is not the default on any version of MSVC I have ever seen, cdecl is; so mingw using cdecl by default mimicks the behavior of MSVC. BTW, the versions I'm referring to are 6, 2003 (7.1), and 2005 (8). The fact that Windows uses stdcall for most API functions does not mean that it is the default calling convention.
