Thank YOU for your diligent efforts with regards to this core package! 
NOTE TO IGOR: time to upgrade Dave's 'experimental gold star' to a real one!

I've never understood why this was necessary -- because you can 
(natively) build gcc on mingw, and IT doesn't have support for managed 
mounts.  What part of gcc is built on cygwin, but not on mingw, such 
that cygwin encounters this naming issue and is forced to resort to 
managed mounts?  collect2 maybe?
