I don't believe that these build problems were caused by a bad version
of gcc. I have been building many versions of PostgreSQL with Cygwin
gcc 2.95.2-6 for about a month and I have not had any build problems
whatsoever.

The above is not necessary because Cygwin's setup.exe will uninstall the
previous version of a package before installing the new one. You just
need to click on the package version until the right one is displayed,
then continue as normal.
