No, I'm not.

You're apparently still failing to understand the point.

Compiling with gcc does not imply you're not compiling C++.

Compiling C++ does not imply linking to libstdc++.

So basing which library it goes in based on "compiling with gcc versus
g++" is meaningless, and assuming that "compiling C++" implies linking
to libstdc+ is plain wrong.

So putting it in libstdc++ because it's needed by C++ code is plain
wrong.  That's not splitting hairs. You're original logic in adding it
to libstdc++ is flawed.

You're wrong.

It compiles fine with gcc if you put it in a file that ends in .cc or
.C or .cpp or any of the other extensions that tell gcc to run the
cc1plus compiler.  Please read
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Invoking-G_002b_002b.html

It doesn't *link* with gcc, unless you use -lsupc++

N.B. it does *not* need -lstdc++

It links successfully with g++ because that implies -lstdc++ which
implies -lsupc++

But neither g++ nor libstdc+ is required.

I'm trying to help you, really.

Code that is required by C++ programs to provide language support and
basic runtime features should go in libsupc++ not libstdc++, as I
tried to tell you in my last mail.
