gcc not recognizing C++ keywords

Hi Eric,

Is the compile doing:  "g++ -o foo foo.cpp" ?

Or is the compile doing:  "gcc -o foo foo.c" ?

Note, with GCC, C++ programs should use "g++" and have the extension .cpp 
.cc .cxx .c++ .cp or .C (capital C, on case-sensitive file systems only).

The extension can be ignored if "-x c++" is being used, since that 
overrides the extension check.

HTH,
