PTA, please provide a patch (tested) which adds a flag to gcc on Cygwin
to disable the creation of the suffix.  However, you'll have to add this
flag to your 50000 mechanisms as well, so maybe it would be easier for
you to rebuild gcc with a completely removed suffix mechanism.

BTW, I still cannot see the point why you don't want to use it as is,
what is the actual problem with the suffix?  Was it just the problem
with cp and other tools?  Why don't try to enable the tools you need
instead of trying to disable features in gcc?
