I believe "gcc" is just a "front-end" to both the actual C and C++ compiler which decides upon the file extension what the language is supposed to be:

http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/faq8_5.html
http://labor-liber.org/en/gnu-linux/development/extensions

It then decides which actual compiler (C vs C++) to invoke AFAICR. Not sure whether qmake itself also takes the extension into account as to call either gcc or g++.

Cheers, Oliver
