State-Changed-Why:
True. I see this on my linux installation as well. Since
earlier versions of g++ had a manpage of their own rather
than crosslinking to gcc's man page, this is sort of a
regression.
Note that the problem only occurs if the correct path to
the man pages is not in $MANPATH, but only if one views
the g++ man page with "man -k /path/to/g++/man/page/g++.1".
At least on my system, it is not sufficient in this case
to use ./gcc.1 as link, but one needs the full path here.
