Sorry. I did not think when writing. The first line is ok, I use it in
makefiles (but I add -lstdcx) as well as RHIDE does. Both work when adding
-lstdcx (in Unix: -lstdc++) and are correct, according to the info files.

I answered this because I was wondering why gxx wanted to _rename_ an .o
file to an .exe file.
