OK, problem solved!
Weird enough the reason was an old version of cygwin1.dll in c:/windows 
directory which was used by cygwin instead of the one in cygwin-bin-dir 
(since c:/windows comes first in path variable). No idea where that file 
came from, but there were even more files in c:/windows from cygwin - 
those are removed now, and gcc works perfectly!

I found that out by calling C:/cygwin/usr/sbin/alternatives.exe from 
windows-explorer which then gave me an error window saying that the 
procedure entry point "__ctype_ptr__" was not found in "cygwin1.dll" so 
I started searching for cygwin1.dll on my system and found the old 
version in windows directory.

Best regards,
    Andreas
