I think that happened here. So my path variable looks like Kanye West's 
chain of fools:

C:\Users\Fred\Documents>path
PATH=C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;C:\Perl\site\bin;C:\Perl\bin;C:\Program 
Files\Broadcom\Broadcom 802.11 Network Adapter\Driver;;C:\Program Files

(x86)\Intel\OpenCL SDK\2.0\bin\x86;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\OpenCL 
SDK\2.0\bin\x64;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL 
Server\110\Tools\Binn\;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_21\bin;C:\Program

Performance 
Toolkit\;C:\Users\Fred\Documents\perl5\bin;C:\Users\Fred\perl5\bin;C:\Ruby21-x64\bin;C:\Users\Fred\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;C:\MinGW\bin

I deleted the perl install  at C:\Perl\site\bin; and C:\Perl\bin; . 
These are guaranteed to have C compilers as perl is implemented in C.

Although the entry for that rogue perl install is still in the path and 
recent, dammit, 2/3 down the way one sees:

C:\Strawberry\c\bin;

This is where gcc was supposed to be processed, so I have an idea why my 
install is wonky. I thought it was cleaner and newer than all this.

Tried the band-aid measure of setting the path, but that won't do:

C:\Users\Fred\Documents>>SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\MinGW\bin

C:\Users\Fred\Documents>path
PATH=C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;C:\Perl\site\bin;C:\Perl\bin;C:
...
C:\MinGW\bin;C:\MinGW\bin

I used to just plow under my os at this point and start over, but I lack 
all kinds of things to pull that off, like a system disc and a reliable 
disc reader.

I'm gonna see what happens when I make fundamental changes to this as 
well as LIBRARY_PATH.
