Yes they are set up correctly to CC and cc respectively. All the C++ files
up to this point compiled OK. The interesting thing is that when I cd to
that particular directory and run make from there, it works fine and uses
the correct compiler (is that what you did above?) but when running make
recursively from the top-level directory the problem occurred.
I will look at it again when I have time tomorrow.
