I suppose `Hello.c' is a test program supplied with Cygwin?
`stdio.h' is part of the C standard library.  If it's not found,
your compiler is, in practice, unusable.  There must be a way of
setting the search path for libraries and header files.  On my system,
it seems to be the environment variables `PATH' and `LD_LIBRARY_PATH'.

Probably not, but I don't know yet.  To solve the current problem, it
seems that you just need to get Cygwin configured correctly.
I'm afraid I can't help you with this, because I've never used it and know
very little about it.  Cygwin probably has a mailing list or a
newsgroup.  This problem sounds like it might even be in the FAQ.

It indicates that the compiler, while present, couldn't create
executables.

I'm sorry I can't be of more help.
