Yes, this is what I mean by Cygwin related, that gcc and/or gfortran is broken 
for that target for some reason, or the binary downloaded is broken.

Bluecatggw, if you are interested in building gcc/gfortran, I would suggest 
going to the gcc.gnu.org site, find the link to snapshots and get one of those, 
or get an anonymous svn download.

There are some pre-requisites for mpfr to be installed.  Build latest gfortran 
from these and see if the problem goes away.
