You need to install libgcc1 (see the search results for this here:
<http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=cyggcc_s-1.dll>)

It's not clear why you didn't get this to start with, though it may be
related to your old installation.  If installing the above package still
doesn't help, please follow the problem reporting guidelines found here:
