Your cygcheck output shows that $PATH contains
Path: C:\cygwin\usr\local\apache\bin
C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin
[...]
prior to the Cygwin default paths. Are you shore you're running
the correct `mount'?
Oh, and, btw., you're still running Cygwin 1.7.5, not 1.7.6,
as far as your cygcheck output is concerned.
