I'm not sure, but I think the usage of bash by gcc if it finds it in the 
path is build-in.
I vaguely recall having this same problem with MinGW, but not with DJGPP. 
IIRC, the reason was something like this: my bash port is a DJGPP program, 
while gcc is a Windows program (MinGW) and mixing those two is a Bad Idea.
In my case, the solution consisted of temporarily removing bash from the 
path while compiling and then moving it back when the compilation is done.
