I think I have an idea of what's going wrong here. hvr@ was right in pointing out that we need to be careful with the PATH. It seems that the bundled gcc is picking up the system-wide DLLs, and bad things happen because of version incompatibilities. That does not explain why "rm" is crashing, but maybe that's fallout from cross-process damage. I will do some more testing. If this is indeed the cause, then hopefully debugging will not be needed anyway.
Update: even after setting PATH to have the embedded gcc path in the first position to make sure that the right DLLs are, I still got a few segfaults, so this is probably not it. -- Gintautas Miliauskas
