That was it.  Thank you!!

$ i686-w64-mingw32-gcc -static -fstack-protector-strong -o div.exe div.c
$ ./div
  works
$ i686-w64-mingw32-gcc -fstack-protector-strong -o div.exe div.c
$ PATH=/usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin:$PATH  ./div.exe
  works

and follow up question if I may - what should I have read that would
have told me that?
