You're probably compiling this as C rather than C++. gcc selects the
compiler based on the extension: .c=C, .cc,.C,.cxx,.cpp=C++ etc. Note
that gcc is case sensitive (even though dos isn't).  Give your file a
`.cc' extension, and (almost) everything will work nicely (including the
debuggers, there are some problems with gcc and other extensions when it
comes to debugging).
