Make a symlink to cpp.exe

for example

ln -s
/cygnus/cygwin-b20/H-i586-cygwin32/lib/gcc-lib/i586-cygwin32/2.95.2/
cpp.exe /cygnus/cygwin-b20/H-i586-cygwin32/bin/cpp.exe

or you could add cygwin.cf in /xc/config/cf

Replace the line:
#define Cppcmd  cpp

by

#define CppCmd
/cygnus/cygwin-b20/H-i586-cygwin32/lib/gcc-lib/i586-cygwin32/2.95.2/
cpp.exe (or whatever you gcc-lib install path is )
