Sorry, I don't understand your logic.  If GCC_IS_NATIVE, surely g++
either be the default c++ compiler or someone had a reason for not
making that the case.  AFAICT, you are modifying a section of make that
is untouched by Cygnus/Red Hat.  It's under the control of a define
which can be set in non-Cygwin conditions.  Roland McGrath obviously had
a reason for doing this.  If it was wrong, then the make maintainer
(psmith AT gnu DOT org) should apprised of that fact.
