There's nothing wrong here, it seems to just wait for input. I
understand that if you press Ctrl-Z, it exits successfully without
crashing the DOS box, right? (If not, please describe what happens
after you invoke cpp via go32-v2 and press Ctrl-Z.)

I'm really puzzled now. I don't have any ideas left, except to try to
uninstall some of the optional software installed on your machine,
like network clients, anti-virus software, etc. Also, perhaps
commenting-out some of the lines in your CONFIG.SYS and/or
AUTOEXEC.BAT might help. Checking your mother-board setup and memory
is also advisable: gcc is known to be sensitive to faulty memory
chips, overclocked CPUs, incorrect wait state setup, etc.
Other than that, I don't know what to suggest. I have never heard any
problems like what you describe before, except on ThinkPad machines,
and you don't seem to use one of those. Sorry.

When both are renamed, it should say "Using built-in specs".

I don't think this should matter. But just to be sure, can you try to
install GCC on a floppyand run it from there? (Yes, I know, it will
be terribly slow, but we are trying to see some light here...)
