Would be tempting to just uninstall MinGW, but the newcomer needs it
for other stuff. How can we teach Cygwin to ignore MinGW?
Now I hear this has been solved, but the newcomer is unable to explain
how exactly.
Thought about this harder and looked at our exchange again and the
reason was that the paths in their .bash_profile were not correct and
this was causing MinGW to be picked up as host system.
