imp added a comment. CC has been an alias for the default C++ compiler the entire life FreeBSD has had a C++ compiler. Sure, it isn't based on any "standards" but it is a very de-facto standard that many ports rely on. FreeBSD isn't the only system to do this. Sun did this for years, as did SGI, and many other folks that had a C++ compiler based on cfront. IIRC CC was a shell script front end for cfront in at least the cfront 2.0 and 3.0 time frame. Many ISV's compilersr picked up on this de-facto standard and have been providing the link for a long time.
