 Strange I just succesfully compiled gcc 4.7.2.p0 spkg with the list of
 Cygwin packages I posted earlier installed.

 caveat of installing gcc4-core only installs mpfr-1, not mpfr-4 (whatever
 the difference is).  However, JP seems to have had a different experience,
 which is why I say "figure out", not just "add to prereqs".
 Indeed, no compiler by default.

 I'll check what happens on a clean install later as well.
