For the record, those people are goofballs. It's like wanting to
steer a car, but instead of using the steering wheel, they want to
grab hold of the axles with their bare hands.
Use g++. That's what it's there for. :-)
It's not that simple. If we say that you have to use the "appropriate"
program instead of "gcc" for linking language X and a different one for
linking language Y, what happens if you have a program that uses *both*
languages X and Y? Both can't get their way.
That's why "gcc" is designed to be language-independent.
