I think it's time to cut the gordian knot here. Somehow your installation
has got thoroughly busted; we could be here all week trying to find and fix it
one problem at a time.
Re-run setup.exe. Use the "install from local package directory" option.
Click straight through to the chooser page. Set the following packages to
'reinstall':
gcc, gcc-core, any other installed language packages
gcc-mingw, gcc-mingw-core, any other installed gcc-mingw languages
mingw-runtime
w32api
It would be helpful if you could run "cygcheck -c >a.txt" before doing so,
"cygcheck -c >b.txt" afterwards, and then show us the output of "grep
'gcc\|mingw\|w32api' a.txt b.txt". It would be good if we verify whether
cygcheck spots these busted links and identifies them as a problem
cheers,
