I understand that on cygwin /bin and /usr/bin both point to the same directory.
Given that and that the ming2-w64 gcc program is shown to be the exact same 
length and have the same md5sums, I assumed that they were all  equal.

-rwxr-xr-x 2  692765 Dec  1   /bin/i686-w64-mingw32-gcc
-rwxr-xr-x 2  692765 Dec  1   /bin/i686-w64-mingw32-gcc.exe
-rwxr-xr-x 2  692765 Dec  1   /usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32-gcc
-rwxr-xr-x 2  692765 Dec  1   /usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32-gcc.exe

But  the gcc in /usr/bin/  works nand the one in /bin does not.

What magic causes the different behavior?
