As requested at http://cygwin.com/bugs.html:

o Please describe how to reproduce the problem,
  including a test case, if possible.

o Please include at least the version number of the
  Cygwin release you are using along with the 
  operating system name and its version number,
  for example, "cygwin v1.3.13 under NT 4.0".

o Most of the information about your Cygwin environment
  is listed by running 'cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.txt'.
  Please include cygcheck.txt *AS AN ATTACHMENT* to your
  report.  It is important that you include it as an
  attachment so that searches of the mailing-list archives
  give fewer false matches.

If you provide the output of cygcheck, then Randall Schulz's
guess about an incomplete installation could be checked.

Danny,

The dialog regarding your problems with GCC and / or "as" (or whatever the 
real problem ultimately turns out to be) should take place in public.

I'm not in front of the machine, but for the time being I'll add this:

When I copy that path and paste it in on the command line, it runs
just fine (well, as fine as something that expects something on STDIN
can run).  I can add "--help" and it displays the help.

I've done a complete uninstall, followed by a reboot and a complete
install (by selecting "uninstall" and then "install" at the root of
the software tree) on that machine, and the same thing happens.

I'll check the version that got reinstalled Mon morning.  Thanks for
the help so far.  The community rocks.

I recently installed cygwin 1.3.14-1 (according to cygcheck).  gcc is
unable to compile c source code (gcc claims to be version 3.2).

Example code from "test.c":

---
#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
	printf("hello\n");
}
---

Not complicated code by any stretch of the imagination.  It compiles fine
with gcc on the linux box next door, not suprisingly.

I've tried doing a complete install of the entire cygwin env., and
uninstalling followed by reinstalling the development group (and the
binutils package individually).  I still get this error when I try to compile:

---
$ gcc -o test.exe test.c
gcc: installation problem, cannot exec '/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.2/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/as.exe': Invalid argument
---

If I copy and paste the path to as.exe, it runs just fine.  The file
exists.  I've tried it without the "-o test.exe" part - same result.  I
tried moving the file from a network mounted drive to a local path - same
result.  My searches turned up nothing, but then, I may have been looking
in the wrong place.  If someone could either point me to that place or
just solve the problem, I'd be somewhat appreciative. :)

Thanks a bunch.
--Danny
