No; gcc and g++ share a common specs file.

You are right to use g++, when compiling C++ code; gcc may compile it, 
but it won't invoke the linker correctly.  (However, if the source file 
is appropriately named, gcc *should* cope with namespace std just fine,
when compiling to object format).

I agree.  I've considered rewriting that article, but I've never found a 
suitable round tuit.  I'll get to it one day, if no one else beats me to 
the post.
