  Oh well, always worth checking the basics first, but no real surprise!

  If you're that worried I don't mind if you'd rather send it to me offlist,
go ahead, but it's not like you know me well enough to trust either, so I'd
suggest you redact any sensitive data (user names? passwords in environment
vars?) before posting it either way.

  That's not unexpected if you're running under a non-administrative account.

  There was nothing unusual in the output from "gcc -v".  If the cygcheck
output doesn't show anything, I'll have to get you to run cc1.exe under
strace.  However, before we do that, there's one other thing I forgot to ask:
what's the exit status after gcc fails?  "echo $?" should show it, assuming
you're using bash.

    cheers,
