Picking good subject lines is more likely to get you a good answer.

Similarly: 
   * list versions (there are several of EGCS) 
   * the target OS (we can deduce it's some form of windows mutant) 
   * if it's a binary kit where you got it.   Some of the binary kits are
     best supported by the group that assembled them.
   * If you built it yourself, the configure triplets used, problems during
     the build and so on.

`cpp' is a c preprocessor. `c++' is a compiler for the language named
c++.  Renaming one to the other is a bad idea becuase it won't do
anything productive.

Different OSes have different naming rules.  Different OSes will grok
things differently such as the addition of `.exe', renaming g++ to gxx,
etc.  If you have a binary kit and you think things in it are named
'funny', you should check the instructions with that kit.
