Keep going and you'll find problems.  If you really need to work with
the old compiler toolset (why's that?), remove cygwinb19.dll and copy
cygwin1.dll in its place (i.e. rename it to cygwinb19.dll).  Or, better
yet, pull out your favorite binary editor and edit the executables that
use cygwinb19.dll to use cygwin1.dll.  Mind you, fill in the extra 
characters left over in this operation with spaces, otherwise you'll nuke
your executable.  Still, I think we'd all like to see you use current 
tools, compiler et al.!:-)
