This example produces your expected output using the  g++ 5.2.0 from
setup.exe on my installation.
One thing that's difficult about these gcc test versions is the need to
go all the way down the list and install the 5.2.0 version of
everything, including gcc-core, g++, libgcc, libsupc, libstdc++ .... and
to do it over and over again every time you update some other cygwin
component.
