OK, good to know.

Your installation is grabbing tools from 'C:\programme\rtksupport\' and
'N:\IMD\Bin\'.  These match Cygwin counterparts but aren't overridden by
the Cygwin tools in your environment.  This can lead to strange failures
if these different sets of tools with different requirements interact.

Perhaps 'smbntsec' would be a help there, though it may only be useful
if it is set prior to unpacking stuff into those remote locations (or
if unpacked on that system locally under Cygwin, you may need to make
sure you have that user in your '/etc/passwd' and/or set the POSIX
permissions appropriately.)

I mean anything that could cause sporadic, intermittent drop-outs.  This
could certainly explain why sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

Does sound the most promising, though it's not clear to me why gcc would
be having problems here.
