You'll probably need to debug the gcc.exe driver to see what's going on and fix it. Is there a particular reason why you need to use gcc-2.8.1 instead of the more "modern" releases of egcs? GCC-2.8.1 is simply too old and none of the win32 fixes to egcs-1.x have not made their way into FSF GCC, and the chances of that happening in the future are rather slim unless a volunteer comes along to integrate these changes into FSF GCC. These changes involves *lots* of bug fixes and also lots of new enhancements (dll import/export is probably the most visible one). I strongly suggest you upgrade to egcs-1.1. See: http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/ or, straight to ftp: ftp://ftp.xraylith.wisc.edu/pub/khan/gnu-win32/cygwin32/egcs-1.1/ Cygwin32 B20 will include egcs-1.1 as well.
