Sorry, I need the c++ here. Xerces-P is a Perl API for Xerces-C, which
is written in C++. At link time, some C++ specific stuff (such as
__pure_virtual) is requiered for it to run. This stuff can be find in
libgcc.a, which is non PIC, and hence we need this to be in the perl
executable.

If I replace c++ by cc, this stuff is missing, and it won't link. What
is the problem with perl depending on libstdc++?
