Problem with make

["Mark Paulus" <commpg at yahoo dot com>]

I have noticed a problem with make.  Here goes:

I have a small program, hello.cc:

-------------------[ code ]-------------------------------------------
#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdio.h>

void main (void)
{
    cout << "Hello World!!" << endl;
}
-------------------[ end code ]-------------------------------------

Now, when I do a 'make hello', 
under debian everything works fine, and I get an
executable called hello. which I can run.
Under cygwin, I do not see the same behaviour.
Instead, what I see is:

gcc     hello.cc   -o hello
/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/TEMP/ccYbTAo7.o(.text+0x1f):hello.cc: undefined reference to
 `endl(ostream &)'
/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/TEMP/ccYbTAo7.o(.text+0x2c):hello.cc: undefined reference to
 `cout'
/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/TEMP/ccYbTAo7.o(.text+0x31):hello.cc: undefined reference to
 `ostream::operator<<(char const *)'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [hello] Error 1

After further investigation, what is going on is that under linux, make is calling g++ by default
for files with a .cc extension, but under cygwin, make is calling gcc by default.  Does anyone 
know what the rationale is for this "exceptional" behaviour under cygwin??
