cpp gives various results depending on the path used

[Patrick Rouleau]

Hi,

I looks like cpp gives various results depending on the path used.

$ cpp --version
cpp (GCC) 4.8.2

$ /lib/cpp dummy.c >q; echo $?
cpp: error: spawn: No such file or directory
1

$ /bin/cpp dummy.c >q; echo $?
cpp: error: spawn: No such file or directory
1

$ /usr/bin/cpp dummy.c >q; echo $?
0

I get these results with both versions (x32 & x64).

I have restored the previous version (4.7.3) and it works fine.
dummy.c only contains a #define.

I hit this problem while trying to recompile bup after I done a
CygWin's update. bup uses /lib/cpp.


Regards,
P.Rouleau
