g++ is the c++ compiler, the three before it are related but I don't
know well about them.
c++filt is for options like strip symbols and such.
See command prompt> program --help.
gcc is the compiler for C, if you call it over a C++ code it will call g++.
mingw32- are the same that the ones without mingw32-, made so you can
have mingw and cygwin, and so you can differentiate both.

These seems that make something about controlling command options and
passing communication between compiler and linker... depending on the
kind of source you use.
