The top-level configure.in file defaults CXX to c++ if it isn't set.
This seems curious, but I suspect it has never been a problem because we
don't have any host C++ code. Sid is in C++, but is not in wide use.
Dejagnu has configure checks for C++, but last time I checked, it
doesn't need it for the build, it only needs it for the testsuite.
Well, OK, there is gperf, but that is in target_tools, so that it gets
built after gcc/libstdc++, which means we don't need a pre-existing C++
compiler to build it. And I see gperf isn't even in the src tree,
though it did used to be in the Cygnus tree.
