My mistake, sorry. Still a little bit more than 0.5 hour to create one however...

I was not able to do this until now.

You must be talking about /usr/include/exceptions.h. I did remove it from
my system on the very first snapshot that removed it (see a similar
issue about /usr/include/process.h under
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-02/msg00130.html). Without
/usr/include/exceptions.h and with all 3.0.0-1 packages (see above)
included, i obtain the symptoms shown in
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-11/msg00364.html and discussed in
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-11/msg00368.html .
