Here is the cygcheck -svr output.
Hmm, you're using a local NTFS drive and $CYGWIN is not set to anything
strage. So no more clues there.
What are the attributes of the .lnk files? What happens if you manually
delete them and recreate them as working symlinks by hand?

Brian,
Again many thanks for the help. I manually created the links and it
resulted in the same behavior.I did some more looking around and it
appeared that the /usr/lib/gcc/3.4.4/i686-pc-mingw directory suffered
the same problem (it had .lnk files). So I went into the cygwin
setup.exe and uninstalled all of the mingw stuff. Setup complained that
parts of the main gcc stuff required mingw tools, I unchecked the box so
that setup would remove the mingw stuff anyway. When I looked on the HD
all of the mingw directories were still there. I manually deleted all
the files in these directories (/usr/i686-pc-mingw and
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-mingw32). I then reran the cygwin setup and had it
install the mingw tools. This fixed the problem. I am presuming that the
setup was not actually erasing the mingw files from the HD (as evidenced
by what I saw) so that was causing the problem in that when setup was
not properly over-writing the existing files.
Again thanks.
-Jim
