Base cygwin installation is a POSIX userspace and essential Cygwin tools, it
does not include any compilers at all, quite predictable.

Why it should?
Why? Because from a Windows perspective it seems like the whole purpose of
Cygwin is to be able to
compile source code to run under Windows. It should include the tools to do
that in the default setup.

I think we need a "build-essential" metapackage.
Exactly! I'm primarily a Windows programmer. I only compile Linux and Unix
programs when I have no other choice
and I certainly don't know all the ins and outs of those OSes. Anything that
makes Cygwin easier for Windows programmers is welcome!
