I'm having a problem with gcc on my Debian 2.0 Linux system. I have the egcs
compiler ("gcc --version" reports "egcs-2.90.29 980515 (egcs-1.0.3
release)"). When I try to compile any .c file, gcc attempts to compile it as
C++ instead of C and so often fails. If I use the "-x c" option, gcc
compiles .c files fine. However, this isn't an adequate solution since I need
to compile some large GNU sources. Has anyone heard of or experienced this
problem? Anyone know what I might do to remedy it?
Thanks,
Brett

It sounds like the gcc front-end program is actually the g++
front-end program. Try linking a program, adding -v to the
gcc command line. If it adds -lstdc++ (or something involing
libstdc++), even though you didn't ask for it, then you
are running g++ instead.

Actually, I wonder if his input files aren't named .C instead of .c.
