OK. I'm back to a fork issue. It has to be. This is the ps output whilst
cc1 is hung in another bash session:

$ ps -ef
      UID     PID    PPID  TTY        STIME COMMAND

  sbaddah     576       1 cons0    19:15:58 /usr/bin/bash

cc1 doesn't show, but it is a running Windows process.

So this is interesting. If I run this on the working 32-bit install, it
confirms what I would expect, which is parsed contents of hello.c. The
following output is the equivalent output of not having given *any*
command line options.

So, here's the 32-bit output if I comment out all options but -E:

| $ /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/9.3.0/cc1.exe -E # -quiet -v -idirafter 
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/9.3.0/../../../../include/w32api -idirafter 
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/9.3.0/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/lib/../../include/w32api 
hello.c -mtune=generic -march=i686
| # 1 "<stdin>"
| # 1 "<built-in>"
| # 1 "<command-line>"
| # 1 "<stdin>"

| Time variable                                   usr           sys 
     wall               GGC
|  TOTAL                              :   0.00          0.00 
0.72             88 kB

but with even the -E commented:

| $ /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/9.3.0/cc1.exe # -E -quiet -v -idirafter 
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/9.3.0/../../../../include/w32api -idirafter 
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/9.3.0/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/lib/../../include/w32api 
hello.c -mtune=generic -march=i686

Matches what I see when I ctrl-d the *hung* 64-bit cc1.

At this point, I am going to back right off. I am fairly sure now this
is some form of BLODA. We do have something installed that logs all
commands run. And that is so sacred to our IT security team, I've
watched iterations of *hardening* of it, and the service can't be
stopped or the process killed as a Local admin.

Perhaps this is intercepting the process arguments and failing to
*proxy* them when it has recorded them.

I've requested our IT security team assist. I'll workaround this for the
moment. It's very unsettling when your foundations are constantly
shifting.
