Pascal, thanks. I removed the other gcc, and tried again, but still got 
the error. After Googling about it, I discovered that another user had had 
it too: see a comp.lang.ada posting by Franck Gaultier on December 31st 
starting the thread "Failed to compile XmlAda with cygwin", 
http://www.rhinocerus.net/forum/lang-ada/656849-failed-compile-xmlada-cygwin.html 
. The solution is to set the environment variable TEMP to /tmp, which I 
did by adding the line
   export TEMP=/tmp
to my Cygwin .bashrc file.

With this done, I was able to do the makes, and to run my AWS test 
program.
