GCC used as a C compiler does not support function overloading, which is
not part of the C programming language.  The Gnu Compiler Collection
(GCC) does include a C++ compiler (g++ or gpp), a Pascal compiler (gpc),
and a Fortran compiler (g77) among others.  Those other components of
the Gnu Compiler Collection support language features for those other
languages, and g++ does indeed support function overloading.
