Yes it should, since it does not need to know about the .exe magic
Cygwin performs.  Besides, it gets that information from %Config, which
in turn comes from Cygwin's own Perl.  Once the compatibility link is
named gcc-4.exe, the .exe magic ensures that both checking for an
executable named gcc-4 and gcc-4.exe will succeed, so that's the right
thing to do and not patching whatever number of Perl modules and/or
other build scripts.

Achim.
