That's how I expected it to act, but when compiling files with a ".cc"
extension, gcc didn't "#define __cplusplus".  However, I just found the
"-x c++" option; I'll try it next.  I guess if nothing else works, I can
always set "GXX = gcc -D__cplusplus" in my makefile...  I'm just
confused as to why this isn't automatic; I'm probably doing something
wrong.
