Using gcc instead of gpp might be a reason for link errors, but not
for compilation errors.  When gcc sees a.cpp file, it knows that it is a 
C++ program.

The error message above comes from the preprocessor, not from the linker.

As I wrote elsewhere in this thread, section 8.3 of the FAQ discusses
this problem.
