Unskilled physicist buiding 3.0.4 on Cygwin

[Stephano Mariani]

Perhaps this will help:

Get a copy of GCC (If you can't do that, give up now)
Then in the directory you extracted your sources, run
"./configure --enable-language=c,c++,f77 --disable-libgcj".
After that is complete, run "make bootstrap". After that is complete,
run "make install".
Then cd to your /usr/local/bin and rename the new files that are
installed there to something unique (I recommend a suffix of "3", so
that you can call the new gcc as gcc3).

Enjoy :)
