perl GD - can find gd.h

lupey has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello, I'm trying to install the Perl GD module (2.44) on cygwin (1.7.x). 'perl Makefile.PL' gives me this output:

(1008) sirius:~/downloads/GD-2.44 $ perl Makefile.PL
Notice: Type perl Makefile.PL -h for command-line option summary.

Configuring for libgd version 2.0.36.
Checking for stray libgd header files...

** WARNING: found gd.h header file in
/usr/include/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.3.4/../../..gd.h, but it is expected
+ at /usr/include/gd.h. This may cause compile errors
! **
** Possible problems found **

Included Features:          GD_XPM GD_JPEG GD_FONTCONFIG
GD_FREETYPE GD_PNG GD_GIF GD_GIFANIM GD_OPENPOLYGON GD_UNCLOSEDPOLY GD
+_ANIMGIF GD_FTCIRCLE VERSION_33
GD library used from:       /usr
Writing Makefile for GD
[download]

Note how it says my gd.h header file was not found in /usr/include/gd.h and that it was found in /usr/include/gcc/... But oddly enough, I don't even have a /usr/include/gcc/ directory and gd.h is in fact found in /usr/include on my system. See output below:

(1010) sirius:~/downloads/GD-2.44 $ ls -l /usr/include/gd.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 LUPEY Administrators 32609 2009-09-15 06:14 /usr/include/
+gd.h

(1011) sirius:~/downloads/GD-2.44 $ ls /usr/include/gcc
ls: cannot access /usr/include/gcc: No such file or directory

What is going on here? Is this a problem with my cygwin/gcc installation or a GD problem? Thank you for your guidance,
