It looks like you're actually trying to use a *mingw* version of gcc.
Mingw is officially supported by the folks at www.mingw.org.

If it is really a mingw version of gcc, that certainly explains why
it can't resolve cygwin paths or symlinks.  You need a cygwin version
of gcc to understand cygwin paths and cygwin symbolic links.
