This still has the same problem.  I have the (entire) MinGW installation (gcc, make, etc).

I tried with the bmingw stuff, and the -mno-cygwin switch...still same error

error:

gcc -mno-cygwin -o conftest -Ic:/infoether/ruby/lib/ruby/1.6/i386-mingw32 -DNT -D__MSVCRT__ -Os  -I/usr/local/mingw/include   -I/usr/local/mingw/include   -L/usr/local/mingw/lib conftest.c -lole32   -lwsock32 -lmsvcrt 
gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `cpp0': No such file or directory
