Stay on the 'Curr' (not 'Exp'), click 'View' until you are on the Pending page, then cycle on the string next to each gcc package until it says Keep instead of the downgraded version number. Yes, it's a known pain that setup.exe tries too hard to downgrade experimental packages. I still remember the pain of the couple of years during cygwin 1.5 days where the only working emacs was marked experimental, and I had to go through this exercise of manually requesting that it not be downgraded every time I ran setup.exe for anything else.
