Actually, the term "gcc" does indeed refer to just the language-independent
backend, plus the C (and perhaps Objective-C) front ends.  The C++ front
end is referred to as "g++" and has a separate bug reporting address and
maintainers.

It's no more a part of GCC than GNAT or the Fortran front ends.  It's
likely that g++ will be distributed as a separate package in GCC 2.8.0.
