what about testing a 64bit cygwin installation ?

this two addresses are very low. On my machine
$ rebase -si |grep cyggcc_s
/usr/bin/cyggcc_s-1.dll
base 0x5dc90000 size 0x00022000
So I suspect a BLODA is interfering with your cygwin installation.
with
less /proc/self/maps
you can have an idea of which dll are loaded

An antivirus more likely
