`gcc' is the compiler (basically).  However, in order to link (make an
executable) from C++ files, one needs to include the C++ library.  One
could do this like:

gcc -o foo.exe foo.cc -lstdcxx

The `gxx' and `g++' programs simply do this for you, so the above is
equivalent to

g++ -o foo.exe foo.cc

Thus, you should use `g++' or `gpp' when linking C++.  (`gxx' is older
and lacks a few subtle features.)
