My"C" Compiled can't compile "{}"

[Paul McFerrin]

Well, after all of this discussion, my C compiler IS BROKEN.  I.E.:

echo "main{}" >test.c
/usr/local/mysql-5/mysql-5.1.41.$ cc -O test.c
test.c:1: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or 
‘__attribute__’ before ‘{’ token
/usr/local/mysql-5/mysql-5.1.41.$ echo "main(){}" >test.c
/usr/local/mysql-5/mysql-5.1.41.$ cc -O test.c
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.3.4/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: 
crt0.o: No such file: No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

My suggestion is to completely UNINSTALL C Compiler packages and 
restalled then.  If others agree, could someome tell me which packages 
to uninstall?  Your installation may be working, but mine isn't.
