Yes and no.  To give you a rough idea, both gcc and g++ share a
common back end (the code generator and optimizer), but they
differ in how they parse your program (the front end) and the
runtime glue that needs to be linked to generate the final
executable.

This is true for all the languages supported by GCC (Java,
Fortran, Objective C, ADA).
