I'm running Windows 7 64-bit, and I installed Cygwin 1.7 hoping to use 
the build toolchain from SciTE and Eclipse. My cygwin installation 
works, and I can run gcc just fine from a cygwin shell. Eclipse works 
just fine (though the debugger interface sends complaints to console 
about missing dlls etc at program start, it doesn't seem to cause 
trouble). However, trying to launch gcc from Windows (cmd.exe, the run 
dialog, etc) or from SciTE (as the build command) gives one or the other 
of the following two error messages:

This version of %1 is not compatible with the version of Windows you're 
running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you 
need a x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then 
contact the software publisher.

Unsupported 16-bit Application
The program or feature "\??\c:\cygwin\bin\g++.exe" cannot start or run 
due to incompatibility with 64-bit versions of Windows. Please contact 
the software vendor to ask if a 64-bit Windows compatible version is 
available.

I've tested most all of the binaries in c:\cygwin\bin and outside of the 
gcc ones all of them, including the rest of the build toolchain, seem to 
be launchable from windows. Anyone know why gcc would be different?
