Hi Tom,

I smell a problem here, Cygwin isn't primarily for running native windows
applications, it's primarily for running Cygwin apps. Whenever you try to
cross that boundary, you inevitably end up with these warts. And I get the
feeling that your gcc is just such a native windows application, and not
a MinGW targeting cross compiler for the Cygwin host. I haven't double
checked that of course, but if that's indeed the case you might have more
luck with MSYS as the script host instead.

Cheers,
Peter
