`as' is the assembler. GPC is meant to be part of an existing cygwin32
toolchain, which you don't have. You can get the remaining b17.1 parts as:

Or, you can get a b18 toolchain (GPC + required tools) as:
ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/home/janjaap/cygwin32/gpc-970624.i386-cygwin32-b18.zip
Don't mix up b17.1 and b18 binaries -- it won't work.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going
to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC1925.
