That's a very strange error message. The only message like that I
remember having seen from gcc is the one you get when you provide *no*
input file to gcc, i.e. you just call 'gcc', without any arguments:

gcc: No input files

To check whether 'gpp.exe' itself might be the problem, could you
please try:

	gcc -v -c test.cpp

('gpp' is only really needed for linking, not for compiling, so this
should work). If that works, try the next step, in the same less convenient
way:

	gcc -v -o testprog.exe test.o -lstdcxx

If that also works compare the results to that of the same command
lines, with 'gcc' replaced by 'gpp'.
