Why CXX defaults to g++ instead of c++

[Lei Zhang]

Hi,

I'm trying to use clang as the default compiler in my system. Ideally
I'd only need to link cc/c++ to clang, and still keep gcc in case it's
needed.

The problem is, somehow Make defaults CXX to g++ instead of c++, so my
solution doesn't work. While CC already defaults to cc, is there any
specific reason for CXX not to default to c++?


Thanks,
Lei
