Indeed. Use gcc-3 or gcc-4 explicitly from a windows shell (or even use
'bash "-c gcc ... "' to chase the link). There's no one answer that would
suit everyone, but making it a symlink controlled by alternatives mean it can
at least be made to suit everyone who's invoking it from within a cygwin
environment.
