mingw32-gcc

hi,
in mingw32-gcc why put a link into
/lib/i686-pc-mingw32-cpp -> ../usr/bin/i686-pc-mingw32-cpp
i see there is the same in the naive linux package, but in cross compile
env is this really required?

Possibly not, but I don't think it does any harm to have the link.
Some packages out there are still expecting /lib/cpp to exist, so I
guess by extension they might try to use /lib/$target-cpp as well.
