I have checked all the paths in the output and they exist. All
executables that are called seem to respond to running the executable
with --version *except* "as" and "ld". 

1. /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/as.exe shows nothing.
2. /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld
shows a message box about an error in a 16-bits MS-DOS subsystem (in
Dutch) saying that the NTVDM-CPU encountered an invalid instruction.

Inspecting that directory shows that all files (ar.exe, as.exe, ld.exe,
nm.exe, ranlib.exe and strip.exe) are only 26 bytes big (are they
actually symlinks?). Running /usr/bin/ld works OK. 

If the files are symlinks than the remarks about symlinks on Samba
shares would apply (can anyone confirm or deny that: I do not have any
Windows machine to check it?) . But I have enabled the symlink stuff
from the FAQs (map system = yes and create mask = 0775)....

So are the files
in /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/
actually symlinks?
