I have gcc-mingw-20030911-2, which "setup" lists as the most recent.

 From Gerrit's suggestion about symlinks, I try this...

But I don't even have a /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-mingw/3.3.1 directory!

$ pwd
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-mingw32
$ ls
3.2
$

So I am thinking that downgrading to gcc package 3.2-3 will fix it.
Let's try...

$ gcc foo.c
$ gcc -mno-cygwin foo.c
$

Wow, great!  Thanks for the hints to get gcc working again!!

One last question, I'm always interested in trying the latest
packages, so is there a gcc-mingw that matches the gcc 3.3.1?
