As GCC and G++ become increasingly merged it would be nice to update
the gcc.c file so that compiling a G++ program, specified by the .cc
suffix, would call the correct compiler.

In gcc 1.34, this doesn't work, since gcc execs a main compiler
program named ``cc1plus,'' whereas g++'s main compiler program is
called gcc-c++.

I'm sure the change is trivial, and simply necessitates standardizing
on a common naming convention.  Could this please be done for the next
release?

   Thanks,
