I don't think that's the problem, in the absence of a '-x lang' option the gcc driver will infer the language from the file extension, see http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Overall-Options.html Using 'gcc' to compile C++ works fine, although it doesn't link to libstdc++ by default, but that is not the problem here.
