I concur.  I do find this:

>> C:\MinGW\bin>g++ -v 

mildly troubling, however; why is the OP working with C:\MinGW\bin as
current directory?  That seems an unwise choice to me: that directory
should be added to the PATH, and the working directory should be
somewhere entirely outside of the MinGW system tree, to avoid polluting
the system directories with user files — C:\MinGW\home\sunwukong would
be an acceptable choice, but it doesn't _need_ to be that closely bound
to the system tree; (one caveat: wherever you put it, directory names
with embedded spaces are usually a bad idea).
