Subject:	gcc-4.8.2-1: /bin/gcc fails

With gcc-4.8.2-1, the following fails:

% touch /tmp/t.c
% /bin/gcc -c /tmp/t.c
gcc: error: spawn: No such file or directory

This works correctly if gcc is invoked as "gcc" or "/usr/bin/gcc".
It also works correctly with 4.8.1.

It appears this is due to a change from /usr/lib to /usr/libexec.
/bin/gcc attempts to find cc1 under "/bin/../libexec/...". In 4.8.1,
this was "/bin/../lib/...", which works because /lib is mapped to
/usr/lib by Cygwin. /usr/bin/gcc uses "/usr/bin/../libexec" which
also works fine.

I can work around the problem as follows:

% ln -s /libexec /usr/libexec
