followup to an old newbie question on cc1obj. what/where is it?

[dogstar]

I am trying to get GNUstep's GWorkspace running under Vista on a Mac Mini and
have gotten stuck. I am trying to install it from source, and I can run
./configure, but make barfs.

I found this older thread which sounds a lot like what happened to me, as
well as a partial reply:

and the reply was ....

Are you using the mingw shell (The "Shell" link from the GNUstep  
Startup menu) or the CMD window? You should be using Shell.  What  
does "echo $PATH" say from Shell?
It shouldn't have anything to do with the PATH though, as long as  
gcc.exe is found, gcc should find everything else. Try also:

gcc -print-prog-name=cc1obj

It should print out the full path name to the compiler.  If it just  
says "cc1obj", then something wrong.

.. end of original reply

Well, I tried "gcc -print-prog-name=cc1obj" and I got a "no such file or
directory" message, so I guess something is wrong.  The question is: what is
wrong and how do I fix it?

I am totally new to this GNU stuff on Windows (my Macs are using it of
course).
