Anh,

Look again at the version numbers carefully.  You didn't download
gcc-3.2.3, you've downloaded gcc-3.2-3.  The "-3" indicates the
Cygwin-specific package number and patch level, which is not part of the
GCC version.

As Robert indicated in <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-04/msg02199.html>,
don't expect to see gcc 3.2.3 in the Cygwin distribution for another
couple of months.
