Here is a patch for this problem.

Finally it does work. We were at first confused by some parasite
obscure configurations problems, but in fact the solution I proposed
just above was the right one. 


Briefly :


 - the two options

     -iwithprefixbefore ../../../../mingw/include/g++-3
     -iwithprefixbefore ../../../../mingw/include 

 that you can find in the currently distributed gcc/config/i386/cygwin.h
 file make no sense at all, and should be deleted.


 - we successfully replaced them by these two options :

    -iwithprefixbefore ../../../../i386-pc-cygwin32/sys-include/mingw
    -iwithprefixbefore ../../../../i386-pc-cygwin32/include/mingw

Only one of the two options we propose is useful at a given time. But
the two may be useful, depending on how you installed mingw headers.

Comments on this patch welcome.


Sincerely,
