Thanks; that fixed problem # 2. I suggest that the installation procedure
should
either remove that file itself or else at least warn about it.
I worked around problem # 1 by invoking "ln -s /bin/gcc-4 /bin/cc" and
suggest that
the GNU-make installation procedure should test for existence of various
cc-compatible
commands and set up a similar link. (Note also that some people expect
"c99"
to also exist, since it is required for POSIX compliance.)
My Cygwin Bash environment now seems to function as well as it used to.
I appreciate the prompt response.
