problems running gcc after installation

[Jerry Lowry]

Hi,
      I have upgraded from 1.5 to 1.7 cygwin/x and am not able to compile
any C programs.  I have check the mail list archives and did not get a
hit on the error.  Could someone point me in the correct direction.

$ python setup.py install
running install
running build
running build_py
running build_ext
building 'Cython.Plex.Scanners' extension
creating build/temp.cygwin-1.7.9-i686-2.6/Cython
creating build/temp.cygwin-1.7.9-i686-2.6/Cython/Plex
gcc -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O3 -Wall
-Wstrict-prototypes -I/usr/include/python2.6 -c Cython/Plex/Scanners.c
-o build/temp.cygwin-1.7.9-i686-2.6/Cython/Plex/Scanners.o
*gcc: error trying to exec 'as': execvp: No such file or directory*
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

tried a plain gcc on a "hello world" program and it gives me the same error.

I have tried installing and removing a number of times thinking that
something is failing to install.

thanks
