After updating gcc in my cygwin installation, i discovered
that i cannot run gcc.exe from the native winxp console (cmd.exe).

gcc.exe has been replaced by gcc-3.exe.

Of course, this works fine under bash and ash, but it does not work 
anymore
under cmd.exe.

since i prefer to work under cmd.exe. i tried to fix this problem by:
adding .LNK to PATHEXT
and adding /usr/bin/alternatives to the PATH

and now if i type "gcc", cmd finds gcc-3.exe and launch it.
But, this is not perfect. gcc (or someone else) wait until i press
enter to continue.

Anybody knows a better solution ?

I would prefer not to be forced to use bash.
