Just want to drop my usual line here - Do use g++ rather then gcc -lstdc++
Since gcc -lstdc++ isn't always enough, and what is enough may not always be
enough in the future.

PS - in response to the other email - .cc Is pre-processor input - since
that's the Normal state for c++ code - pre-processor input of which the
output is then fed to a c++ compiler. (Virtually at least, in practice it
can end up being integrated somewhat.  The C standard allows 'as if'
interpretation in the implementation of the pre-processing component.)
