As recorded in the thread "gcc -mno-cygwin fails", there is I think a packaging error in gcc-mingw-3.3.1-20030804-1.tar, component of the gcc-mingw-3.3.1-20030911-2.tar.bz2 package.
viewing the contents of the .tar file and looking for the symlinks I get: tar tvf gcc-mingw-3.3.1-20030804-1.tar | grep exe lrwxr-xr-x root/cgf 0 2003-09-13 18:18:31 lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-mingw32/3.3.1/cc1.exe -> ../../i686-pc-cygwin/3.3.1/cc1.exe lrwxr-xr-x root/cgf 0 2003-09-13 18:18:31 lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-mingw32/3.3.1/cc1plus.exe -> ../../i686-pc-cygwin/3.3.1/cc1plus.exe The link for f771.exe is missing, possibly others too. See http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-09/msg01620.html btw during reinstall of this package there a popup is visible very briefly with says something like "no package".
