Re: gcc not creating .exe
Yes, sorry for the confusion caused by being over enthusiastic in
discounting the notion that cygwin1.dll would be installed in
/usr/local/anything.
setup.exe *does* create a /usr/local directory. However, the mere
existence of this directory is no cause for concern. The packages
installed by setup.exe do not use this directory.
