Well, using 'rename' helped a little. gcc stopped trying to use
cc1plus and used cc1 instead.

Now, the problem is that:

gcc -c -g -o foo.o foo.c

(this is executed from a makefile)

produces object file FOO.O instead of foo.o. The make terminates,
probably because it detects the fact that it failed to produce the
target 'foo.o'. Running make again recompiles foo.c into FOO.O again
and terminates again.

Any ideas?
