Try:

$ cygcheck `which gcc-3`
C:\Cygwin\bin\gcc-3.exe
  C:\Cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL
      C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.dll
        C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll
      C:\WINDOWS\system32\RPCRT4.dll
        C:\WINDOWS\system32\Secur32.dll
  C:\Cygwin\bin\cygintl-8.dll
    C:\Cygwin\bin\cygiconv-2.dll

One or more of those libraries are missing in your installation.
