title: gcc fails with spawn: No such file or directory
body: <p>I downloaded
  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/256138">Ruben’s</a> build of
  <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win32/Personal%20Builds/rubenvb/gcc-4.8-release" rel="noreferrer">Cygwin GCC</a>.</p>
  
  <p>However upon running it seems unable to compile any files</p>
  
  <pre>
  $ touch foo.c
  
  $ gcc foo.c
  gcc: error: spawn: No such file or directory
  </pre>
  
  <p>As a workaround, I found this to work</p>
  
  <pre><code>i686-w64-mingw32-gcc foo.c
  </code></pre>
