Yes, this is an unfortunate feature for mingw users, but cygwin\bin is
automagically added by the CDT. To override it you need to go to your
project settings and make PATH a user variable there. This will give you the
opportunity to remove it.
I can't seem to find a bug in bugzilla on this, but feel free to raise one.
Doug.
