The gcc used comes from mingw.

I installed MinGW by Downloading the auto installer at http:// 
prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/MinGW-5.0.3.exe?download:
Ran program and installed mingw and c++ support.

By default this places gcc in c:/mingw/bin .

I'm not using MSYS at all. I'm using MinGW for the compilers and  
cygwin for the shell and basic tools. In my path I have added / 
cygdrive/c/mingw/bin as the first item in my PATH.
