Anything's possible.  The way to know is to use the -v switch to GCC,
as I suggested in my message.

But first, I suggest that you try reproducing the same failure you see
in config.log, with the same test program, running GCC from the shell
prompt.  That should tell you whether the problem is with cpp.exe or
with something that only rears its ugly head when the MSYS Bash runs
the configure script.
