Patch?  The only patch I can find is for the specs file, and that seems
to make my problems worse.  Is there another patch I should know about?
I'm running Win ME, do I need to install differently than if I had 95?

If I exclude the C_INCLUDE_PATH, gcc reports that it can't find
<STDIO.H> Do I have something else set wrong?

That helps a lot! With the new PATH I can compile, but the linker gives
me an error.  Here is what I am doing now:

SET PATH=%PATH%; d:\mingw\bin
SET PATH=%PATH%;d:\mingw\lib\gcc-lib\mingw32\2.95.3-4

SET C_INCLUDE_PATH=d:\mingw\include
SET CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=%C_INCLUDE_PATH%
SET LIBRARY_PATH=d:\mingw\lib

gcc hello.cpp

and I get "ld: Cannot find -lgcc"

Anybody seen this before?
