Thanks to all who replied. The problem was that I have moved my directories
around to create something resembling a "real" Unix system (I don't care what
the motivation is, for me personally the default Cygwin directories are an
ABOMINATION and should be exorcised at the earliest possible moment <g>). The
answer to my problem should probably be in the FAQ somewhere (it may be, but
I didn't find it).
The fix is to a create GCC_EXEC_PREFIX variable pointing to the gcc-lib
directory (wherever it is); a LIBRARY_PATH pointing to the gcc-lib, the
/usr/lib, and the /usr/local/lib equivalents; a C_INCLUDE_PATH pointing the
gcc-lib/include, the /usr/local/include, and the /usr/include directories,
and a CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH pointing to /usr/include/g++:$C_INCLUDE_PATH.
gcc is happily executing now. Now, if we can just convince Geoffrey to use a
directory structure someone besides a Martian can read <bg>.
Thanks to all again!

For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to
"gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
