I can't find any "linux-g++*" in our source code, which is the most likely one 
to cause problems (cross-compilation to embedded devices). That means you've 
just got away with it, for the time being. It might break at any time.

Those are new things and, clearly, all wrong.

It's linux-g++-<complement>. I reserve the right to unintentionally break any 
mkspec not following that rule. Therefore, please rename them all at the 
earliest opportunity.

That said, one of Ossi's recent changes was to have the compiler name in a 
different variable, so we avoid this problem completely. Depending on the 
mkspec was fragile.
