I can modify the code, that always the content of $CC is used as 
preprocessor for windres. The problem can happen for all mingw cross 
compilers using just the binutils snapshot for build without the winsup/ 
directory in base.
Additionally there is still a lack in supporting the build of cross 
binutils itself. For this we would need the --with-sysroot path from 
configure, which is unavailable for testsuite AFAIK. Additionally the 
define '-D_WIN32' should be passed to the windres, if cross-compiling is 
done.

Cheers,
