Agree it's a location best avoided.

Windows XP SP3 / mingw GCC 4.5.2 / make 3.81 / msys+mintty worked 
for me for Lua 5.1.5. Samples:

$ gcc -v test
gcc.exe: test: No such file or directory
Using built-in specs.
...

$ gcc -v "# test"
gcc.exe: # test: No such file or directory
Using built-in specs.
...

$ gcc -v # test
Using built-in specs.
...

If gcc didn't see the comment, then maybe bash did it in, or the 
startup code? I'm on msys bash 3.1.17(1).
