I noticed under gcc-4 -v that --enable-languages includes a
bogus selection of f77, which raises doubt about whether omission of
fortran is intentional.

I have built several snapshots of gcc 4.4 with fortran selected, which
works OK, better than cygwin 1.5 has worked in recent months.
??? What does it mean to say that gcc 4.4 works better than cygwin
1.5? One is a compiler, the other a posix emulation layer.
The core 2
laptop freezes and must be rebooted during the gcc bootstrap, but then
completes the build.
Sounds like you have BLODA trouble?
gcc testsuite hasn't behaved as well as it did perhaps a year ago. This
may be due more to changes in behavior of Windows, with XP3 and all, than
to anything in cygwin. On my Pentium D desktop machine, most of the
testsuite sections restart multiple times. My Core 2 laptop terminates
Windows before completing much of the testsuite.
I've never seen anything like this happen to me.
Has cygwin 1.7 been withdrawn from the mirrors?
??? You've completely lost me there.
Perhaps we could start again with a clarification of what precisely the
problem is?
cheers,
