Create a file called 'stderr.c':

int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  dup2(1, 2);
  argv++;
  execvp(*argv, argv);
  perror(*argv);
  exit(1);
}

Compile this:

gcc -o stderr -g stderr.c

The program stderr will redirect all error output to the same place as
stdout:

stderr gcc -c stderr.c > gcc.out

This will probably only work with cygwin.dll programs, though.
