gcc-4 is an old moniker for the current gcc, back when Cygwin had both 3 and
4 versions of gcc. This is no longer true and hasn't been for quite some
time. Your options at this point are:
1. Create a link to gcc and call it gcc-4.
2. Try the experimental 5.18 version.
3. Install the x86_64 version of Cygwin (requires x86_64 version of
Windows).
