This is indeed the symptom of the processor type not being correct.  
However, as far as I can see, Satellite PR0 4600's used a PIII running 
at 700MHz.  The download should be OK.  As it happens, I have a PIII 
machine in a cupboard at work.  I'll get it out and give the compiler a 
try on it.

I still have no real idea what this is about.  Even when I build for 
i386, the identity of the cpu remains imprinted.  I suppose that this is 
some Cygwin-ness.

Ha! A reminder to update the binaries!  Thanks.

If all else fails, you should build the compiler yourself.  This is very 
straightforward - I will post minimum and sufficient instructions on how 
to do it for Cygwin sometime today.
