What is the output of cygcheck /your/path/gcc.exe and what are the
permissions of *all* the shared libraries gcc.exe depends on?

;)

If you compile gcc yourself, do you use the 3 stage bootstrap?  Since the
actual compiler is compiled with itself then, it should work if the build
succeeds in stage 1 and stage 2, and it if there is s.th. wrong you even
cannot finish the build of the new gcc.

Not much magic here.  I basically just followed the recommended way to
build gcc:

$ mkdir build-gcc
$ cd build-gcc
$ ../gcc-src/configure --options ...
$ make
$ make install

See my script included in the gcc-core-3.3.1-3-src.tar.bz2 package about
the details.

Hi.  I'm not sure if I'm able to help you.
