Please send all replies to the cygwin mailing list. This will increase
your chances of getting a reply and the correct diagnosis of your
problem.
From your text below, it looks as though your Cygwin environment
has several problems.
1. The PATH environment variable does not appear to have any
reference to cygwin directories (c:\cygwin\bin, for example).
It's surprising to me that you're able to get much to run.
2. cygcheck was not able to find 'id' (typically, this is
C:\cygwin\bin\id.exe). This could be because you don't
have the 'coreutils package installed, or because PATH
does not reference any cygwin directories.
3. You might consider un-installing cygwin and carefully
re-installing it. If you take this approach, then try
installing cygwin in (at least) two stages. The first
stage simply accepts the default packages that 'setup.exe'
selects. Install these packages to completion and then
start 'setup.exe' again. During the second stage, select
the minimal set of additional packages that you want
(for example, 'vim' or 'emacs', 'gcc', etc.). Then only
add packages as you find that programs you need were not
installed by default.

Mark,
Yeah, I read that thread, and it refers to a problem with very long command lines. I don't think "gcc -o hello hello.c" qualifies.
cygcheck says:
$ cygcheck -s -v -r
