------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 It turns out when one uses Cygwin GCC it requires that the bin directory
 be in the PATH for it to execute commands correctly. Without bin in the
 PATH one gets noops. This would not be a problem if one is running from
 the Cygwin Bash shell. But if one runs from say the Windows CMD shell, and
 hasn't set the PATH, nothing works. Like the msvc toolset, we can enforce
 the correct behavior by setting the PATH when running the gcc actions for
 the cygwin case.
