The "GCC release 2.95" (and most older and all newer releases) include
a C++ compiler. In fact, GCC now stands for "GNU Compiler Collection":
It includes compilers for the C, C++, Fortran, Java, and Chill
languages (with Pascal and Ada to be included in the future).
If you have a Linux or *BSD installation, it most likely already
includes a C compiler, which is called "g++" or "c++". For Windows and
NT, pre-built binaries are also available.
