Comment:

 Mark,

 I figured out how to fix so I'm going to close this out.  I suspect it is
 only an issue with cross-compilers.  I'm not sure how to make it pick it
 up right, I think it does for other executables.

 The issue is that in my c:\ming64\mingw64\bin the file is called:

 x86_64-w64-mingw32-cpp.exe

 If I copy this striping off the version so I have just a cpp.exe

 It picks it up fine and compiles fine.  Still doing my make check.

 I suspect I may just have to note this in the wiki on compiling under
 mingw64, because some mingw64 have the executables already stripped and
 some do not so might  work for one person out of the box  and not another.
 I've had to do this with one other exe. Can't remember which one off hand.
