How do you know this ...
The frontend in gcc called "gcc.exe" invokes cpp.exe, cc1.exe and as.exe when it produces an
object file.  The problem can still be in cc1.exe.

If it isn't this, that is the problem, you may want to test the "-Q" flag.
With this flag cc1.exe will report each function (to stdout) that it starts to
compile.  It will also give a summary of the wall clock time in each pass.
This may help you to pinpoint the problem.
