In the first case, you appear to be missing gcc iteself, or perhaps an
essential DLL it requires (read the list prerequisites on the MinGW site
- or reinstall from gcc-full-4.4.0-mingw32-bin.tar.lzma, which should
contain all the dependencies). In the second case, you are missing the
assembler, which is part of GNU binutils and is a prerequisite for gcc.
