I just upgraded my gcc to 4.8.3 and tried a compilation, and got the error above. I see that there's been some previous discussion of this error, including whether gcc is started from /usr/bin or /bin; tried both, no difference. See below:

$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:
/usr/bin:
/bin:
/usr/X11R6/bin:
/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32:
/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS:
/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/wbem:
/cygdrive/c/program files/intel/dmix:
 . . .

Tried starting gcc with -v option; here's the tail end of the result:

 . . .
GNU C (GCC) version 4.8.3 (i686-pc-cygwin)
        compiled by GNU C version 4.8.3, GMP version 6.0.0, MPFR version 3.1.2, MPC version 1.0.2

gcc: error: spawn: No such file or directory

And all I wanted to do was compile and run some C code. Any suggestions of workarounds? Thanks in advance for any useful ideas.
