Thanks for the suggestion, but it's not the answer.
I'm now using MSYS because it's more straightforward, but I can't get that
to work either. In my profile file, I have this line:
CC=gcc CXX=gcc
This seems to be correct because when I type just $CC on a line in MSys it
lists the correct file:
$ $CC
gcc.exe: no input files
I also have my mingw directory correctly bound to MSYS in fstab:
C:/mingw /mingw
The directory /c/mingw/bin is in my path.
When I try to configure gcc, I get this:
Administrator@TPA21P /c/gcc-objdir
$
c:/Software/gcc/gcc-3.3.1/configure --prefix=c:/gcc-3.3.1 --with-local-prefi
x
=c:/gcc/3.3.1
Configuring for a i686-pc-mingw32 host.
*** This configuration is not supported in the following subdirectories:
target-libffi target-boehm-gc target-zlib target-libjava
(Any other directories should still work fine.)
Created "Makefile" in /c/gcc-objdir using "mh-frag"
c:/Software/gcc/gcc-3.3.1/configure: c:mingwbingcc.exe: command not found
*** The command 'c:mingwbingcc.exe -o conftest -g conftest.c' failed.
*** You must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler.
I'm at my wits end over this. I've been at it all day and all evening. It's
nearly 2am.

You said you're using cygwin? Then you need to translate your paths to
use '/' rather than '\'. Since cygwin is unix-like, '\x' is treated as
a way of escaping 'x'. To include a '\' literally, you need '\\'.
