Wow, all of this traffic and Randall is the first, AFAICT, to notice
that someone was using the -c option incorrectly.  When I did my test
case, I actually correctly did not use the -c option to try to create an
executable and I never noticed the cockpit error.

There are something on the order of 22 messages in this thread and it
looks like only one person actually noticed the obvious problem.

I suspect that this particular problem is probably due to the fact that
you haven't installed the latest gcc-mingw package.
