All I don't know if anyone noticed the

and

>-rwxrwxrwx  1 swootton Users 93717 Dec  5 16:25 
>/usr/bin/i686-pc-cygwin-gcc-3.4.4.exe

lines..

Could it be possible that you are running the Jun 7 version of gcc.exe when 
you are thinking that you are running the gcc pointed to by the symlink? As 
a WAG I think you might be and bash/cygwin is trying to figure out which 
command to ** actually ** use.
