A canny guess. Well, my gcc is
Reading specs from /bin/../lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.2-7/specs
gcc version 2.95.2-7 19991024 (cygwin experimental)

I had unexplainable errors twice, partway thru downloading 
packages using the `setup.exe' system, and I tried finally to ONLY 
update a couple of things. That might well be how it happened -- I 
might have skipped gcc but ordered w32api to go thru.

.. shoot! The gcc I just updated using setup placed libuser32.a 
back in /usr/lib! I used the franken.de ftp server bec the US server 
was unresponsive. What the heck is going on ... musical libs ...
 Now gcc -v sez:
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.2-6/specs
gcc version 2.95.2-6 19991024 (cygwin experimental)

It took me back instead of forwards! Grrrrrrr ...

  Thanks .. anyway ...,
