gpp.exe is original g++.exe renamed as g++.exe is invalid name for DOS
when LFN support is not available. The only difference of it is that it
adds '-lstdcxx -lm' to linker command line to automatically link C++
library. You may also specify it explicitly in gcc.exe command line.

About gxx.exe: all newer binary archives of egcs for DJGPP does not have
such. It comes from djdev202.zip. I still think it should be removed from
there similary as lib/specs. Latest is only needed with old gcc-2.7.2.1
