I have verified that this is a bug.  Mumit Khan, the cygwin gcc guru, is out
of the country and should be back mid-June.  In the mean time I will see
what I can find.

For the time being you may work around it by replacing g++ in the command
line with gcc.  That produces a working executable.  My best guess at this
time is that there is a problem with g++ in the specs file.  I will check it
next.
