Are you running the batch file in the same process as you run gcc
from? Otherwise, the environment variables will be set up in the
process that runs the .bat file, and gcc will run in a process
which *doesn't* have them set up. Try (a) a batch file which sets
everything up and then runs gcc, or (b) call the batch file from
your autoexec.bat (so that it's in the parent environment for all
other processes).

HTH.
