You should run gcc with the "-v" option to see what the filenames really
are. You'll probably need to debug the gcc.exe driver to see what's going
on and fix it.

Is there a particular reason why you need to use gcc-2.8.1 instead of
the more "modern" releases of egcs? GCC-2.8.1 is simply too old and
none of the win32 fixes to egcs-1.x have not made their way into FSF
GCC, and the chances of that happening in the future are rather slim
unless a volunteer comes along to integrate these changes into FSF GCC.
These changes involves *lots* of bug fixes and also lots of new
enhancements (dll import/export is probably the most visible one).

I strongly suggest you upgrade to egcs-1.1. See:

  http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/

or, straight to ftp:

  ftp://ftp.xraylith.wisc.edu/pub/khan/gnu-win32/cygwin32/egcs-1.1/

Cygwin32 B20 will include egcs-1.1 as well.
