I am trying to compile gcc (and later ghdl) and it seems that certain files are
inaccessible to cygwin, while easily accessed from non-cygwin applications. I
installed another disk and formatted it FAT32 as a workaround right now, but
what might the problem be or where can I start researching this one?

cygcheck availble upon request, setup installed most upto date copy minutes ago.

Problem repeated on two separate machines and different accounts (administrator
and user).

Details follow, TIA
