upgrading g++ but not gcc

[Charles Hallenbeck]

Hi Greg,

G++ is only a symbolic link to your GCC compiler. What happens
is that when the compiler starts executing, the first thing it
does is to examine the name by which it was invoked to determine
how it should function. If you invoke it with the name GCC it
behaves in a certain way, and if you invoke it with the name G++
it behaves in a different way.
