[Mingw-users] Passing a double quoted string when using a mingw cross compiler under cygwin

[Roy C. <ta...@ya...>]

When passing a double quoted string from my makefile
to my gcc that has been built as a mingw cross
compiler under cygwin I encounter an error. 

When building gcc under cygwin with no cross compile
the error does not occur. If I substitute the desired
strings into cppdefault.c using vi, I can then
successfully compile using the cross-compiler. I have
attempted to guess the needed syntax for passing a
properly quoted string but have had no luck.

What is the necessary syntax that I need to use for
passing a beginning and ending double quote in this
particular environment?

Output from make:
