indeed. I would try to re-install the c-development package (the one which contains gcc, ld, ar, etc.); perhaps this helps ...

Cygwin installation is finely grained; I have /usr/bin/ar but not /usr/bin/gcc. I installed Cygwin to use the X Window System. I didn't ask to install any development packages, though I got some anyway due to dependencies (ddd was installed even though I didn't ask for it, and so I got gdb). In theory, asking for the Cygwin C compiler tool chain package should be enough, but it is possible that some additional packages may be necessary (which would be a mistake in Cygwin; it shouldn't be possible to get gcc but not ar).
