The verbose option to the language driver is a good way to check these things. Or, by running ld directly you can see what happens. If your version of "ld" is forcing .exe suffix, you're perhaps somehow specifying the --force-exe-suffix option somewhere. For the language driver, the executable suffix is controlled by EXECUTABLE_SUFFIX macro in the target config file(s). See gcc.c (convert_filename) for more info on how the output name is munged. I'll be in favor of removing this forced suffix addition for cygwin32, or at least provide an option to disable it in the driver (but not for mingw32).
