gcc is for C files (compiling and linking).

g++ is for C++ files (compiling and linking).  Since DOS doesn't allow
'+' in filenames, we originally used 'p' instead, but gcc itself uses
'x' so gxx is for C++ files.

C files are *.c

C++ files are *.C or *.cc or *.cpp, but since DOS is case insensitive,
you can't use *.C
