what about testing a 64bit cygwin installation ?

this two addresses are very low. On my machine

$ rebase -si |grep cyggcc_s
/usr/bin/cyggcc_s-1.dll 
                           base 0x5dc90000 size 0x00022000

So I suspect a BLODA is interfering with your cygwin installation.

with
  less /proc/self/maps

you can have an idea of which dll are loaded

An antivirus more likely
