once in the cygwin shell, your gcc and ld should be in /usr/bin. it may depend on how you installed cygwin, but i think they should be in c:\cygwin\usr\bin\gcc or something. (or searching C: for "gcc*.exe" might help locate them back).

Then just patch your batch files to use the proper stuff.
If you're not so happy with heavy patching, you may like to know that most of the GNU compilation tools will try to use $CC environment variable (that should be %CC% in windows environment iirc) to locate the compiler you're willing to use.
