gcc-3 and friends are desperately old and have been only grudgingly
included in the "recent" past to support building 'setup.exe'.  But it's
been a while now since 'setup.exe' required gcc-3.  Obviously, it is in
your interest to step away from gcc-3 as well.  If you absolutely cannot do
that for some reason, check your favorite search engine for the "Cygwin
Time Machine" to take a trip back into Cygwin's past.  Or generate your
own blast from the past by building gcc-3 yourself.
