[snip]

g++ always ignores file name extensions, and assumes C++ .
gcc assumes .c is C, .cc, .cpp, .cxx, and .C are C++ . But gcc doesn't
    link in the standard C++ library, or C++ runtime, so it doesn't
    work for C++

The -x flag (see http://xrl.us/byzf) can be used to specify the
    langauge, overriding the above behaviors for *compilation*, but it
    doesn't change the linking behaviors.

Just use 'gcc' for C, and 'g++' for C++ .
