[deyke@deyke2 bin]$ ./gcc --version

MinGW version 3.1.0 contains the following list of packages:

GCC-3.2.3-20030504-1.tar.gz
binutils-2.13.90-20030111-1
mingw-runtime-3.1
w32api-2.4
gdb-5.2.1-1
mingw32-make-3.80.0-3
mingw-utils-0.2.tar.gz

There is no difference between the 2 PCs (working and non-working)
that I am aware of, and the tools did not change for a few weeks.

But when I said I only have MinGW and cygwin, I oversimplified. The
reality is that I have the following stuff in the path (in that
order):

MinGW is first

the combined bin directory resulting from installing the following
packages from the gnuwin32 site is second:

GnuWin32 Packages.URL       giflib-4.1.4-bin.zip  libpng-1.2.8-dep.zip          tiff-3.8.2-doc.zip
MinGW - Download.URL        giflib-4.1.4-dep.zip  libpng-1.2.8-doc.zip          tiff-3.8.2-lib.zip
MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe           giflib-4.1.4-doc.zip  libpng-1.2.8-lib.zip          tiff-3.8.2-src.zip
coreutils-5.3.0-bin.zip     giflib-4.1.4-lib.zip  libpng-1.2.8-src.zip          xpm-3.5.1-1-bin.zip
coreutils-5.3.0-dep.zip     giflib-4.1.4-src.zip  mingw32-make-3.80.0-3.tar.gz  xpm-3.5.1-1-doc.zip
coreutils-5.3.0-doc.zip     jpeg-6b-4-bin.zip     texinfo-4.8-bin.zip           xpm-3.5.1-1-lib.zip
coreutils-5.3.0-src.zip     jpeg-6b-4-dep.zip     texinfo-4.8-dep.zip           xpm-3.5.1-1-src.zip
findutils-4.2.20-2-bin.zip  jpeg-6b-4-doc.zip     texinfo-4.8-doc.zip           zlib-1.2.3-bin.zip
findutils-4.2.20-2-dep.zip  jpeg-6b-4-lib.zip     texinfo-4.8-src.zip           zlib-1.2.3-doc.zip
findutils-4.2.20-2-doc.zip  jpeg-6b-4-src.zip     tiff-3.8.2-bin.zip            zlib-1.2.3-lib.zip
findutils-4.2.20-2-src.zip  libpng-1.2.8-bin.zip  tiff-3.8.2-dep.zip            zlib-1.2.3-src.zip

Next in path is cygwin and the usual Windows stuff.

Given this setup here are some version strings:
