The above shows that you didn't put mingw's "bin" directory on the
path before the Cygwin ones. That also shows that your Cygwin
installation is possibly broken.

On Cygwin shell, do this:

$ export PATH=/c/mingw/bin:$PATH

$ gcc -v

(Replace "/c/mingw/bin" with the correct path for your mingw
installation)

Now it should work.

If it doesn't, cut & paste the commands you typed and its output as
did on your previous message.

It would be interesting to see the ouput of this commands as well:

$ file /usr/bin/gcc

$ ls -l /usr/bin/gcc
