g++ is currently required to run tests only.  Some tests require static 
linking and thus libstdc++-static, and it was decided at the time to set 
CXX only if -static works for C++ programs.

If this is too confusing, we can probably revisit this decision.  I 
think my original patch detected -static support separately and only 
disabled the affected tests.

Thanks,
