2.2.1(0.289/5/3), GCC5.2.0 Possible Bug

["Sebastian Götzinger" <bastiangoe@hotmail.com>]

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

We had some issues with our program (a wrapper for compiler).

Somehow, not all arguments have been transported correctly to the compiler.

We now bootstrapped gcc-5.2.0 and let it run alone with gdb for cygwin.

During that, we encountered, that during the compilerinvocation, the 
Doublequotes did not got escaped correctly. [1]

Because of that, gcc tells us, it has no input files... so how could we 
get rid of that?

Best regards,
Sebastian Götzinger.
