Thank you, Tatsuro Matsuoka, Following Brian Dessent's advice, I have reinstalled Cygwin in binary (Unix) file mode. Under that rendition of Cygwin, the gcc 4.3.2 build ran to completion. The resulting GCC looks promising, although I have not yet tested it extensively.
Best, Werner P.S.: My apologies to everybody for these multiple postings. I am new to the cygwin list server and ran into issues with its text-only format.
