Re: g++ fails in cc1plus due to path

Thanks Chris.  It was indeed the cygwin1.dll.  I have an old version of
cygwin installed (2.774) along with this one 2.850 (32 bit).  All of the
mirrors are down from that version, so I installed a new one.  Reading
the forum, I thought it was OK to have multiple versions of cygwin
installed, but I suppose the cygwin1.dll file is an exception to that.

If you have more than 1 version of Cygwin installed, you need to be careful
not to have multiple versions in your path.  With one in the Windows
directory, that's really not possible if you're trying to use the new
DLL.  This is why we recommend against putting the Cygwin DLL in any
of the default Windows directories.  If you do so, your configuration is
definitely an exception.
