Yes, those are all the mounts that setup performs.

No. For DOS driver letters, you would need to set these up as well.
But, I wouldn't bother, since all the drives are available via the
/cygdrive virtual directory, called the "Cygwin drive prefix." Use
'mount -c' to change to Cygwin drive prefix to anything else you
want, like say, /.

Actually, the mount of / should come first. Additionally, you don't
need the -x option for any the mounts. The only mount option you
might want to use is -b for binary mounts.

I don't understand what you mean. As long as the mounts are done
correctly, GCC and Perl should work fine. I would say just try it
out, and see if you have any problems.
