I've run 'diff' on gcc.exe and i686-pc-cygwin-gcc-3.4.4.exe, and they're exactly the same file.  I've tried deleting gcc.exe and copying the i686 version to it with exactly the same result: the short name is not found, and the long name works.

What does "type gcc" report?

I notice that your PATH setting in cygcheck has some strange things at
the end, like a directory of just "Z" and ".\" three times.  Is there a
chance that there is some kind of improper string at the end?
