error: could not find a working compiler

Hi,

I encountered an error while building GMP-6.0.0 on cygwin while configuring

configure: error: could not find a working compiler, see config.log for
details

I have gcc 4.9.3 on my cygwin and it works fine. I tried building and
running a hello world program successfully.

Thanks and Regards,
