Subject: gcc 2.95.3-5 cannot creat executables

     I just updated my Cygwin install last night, and I found today that gcc
no longer works.  It doesnt error, but it just doesnt create any
executables.  I first noticed this when trying to compile xChat.  I ran
./configure and got this:

> checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) works... no
> configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot
create executables.

So I went to test gcc with a simple hello.c using:

> #include <stdio.h> int main(void) { printf("Hello, World\n"); return 0; }

But when I try to compile, nothing happens.

> [Administrator AT localhost /downloads]$ gcc -o hello hello.c
> [Administrator AT localhost /downloads]$ ls
> -rw-r--r--    1 Administ None           75 Nov 22 09:03 hello.c
> drwxr-xr-x    9 Administ None            0 Nov 22 09:01 xchat-1.8.5

gcc doenst error, it just doesnt make anything.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.
