Cygwin will automagically alter $PATH (and a few others) to have posix-compliant unix-like paths, with ':' separators. This is transparent to the application. However, you can pass DOS paths to gcc *as parameters* like this: C:\DOS> gcc c:\foo\bar.c Cygwin will not change those for you. So, colons in filenames are OK but colons in $PATH are separators.
