The *C compiler* has no business installing files that belong to the
*C library* (most likely GNU libc on a GNU/Linux host).

The reason you're seeing the C++ headers is that the GCC tarball
contains the C++ library.  So really, when you install GCC, you're
really installing a C *compiler* and a complete C++ *environment*.

Hope that helps.
