yes, the installation seemed to be very broken. But I don't know
when this happend and what caused this.
The update process finished always successful and so I didn't
care about cygwins installation...

There were some strange errors and I decided to completly install
a new anf fresh cygwin environment, because the cygserver didn't work
also. Now the problems are gone. Thank you all for your help

Now my gcc3 compile works and there are no more problems.

btw: In my old (gcc3) makefile I used -mno-cygwin within the
LDFLAGS to compile real native win32 executables, but what
do I have to pass to the compiler/linker to compile with gcc4.x to
get real native win executables?
Don't find correspondending switches. Without -mno-cygwin the
compilation works with gcc4 too, but needs the cygwin1.dll
