So was Marcel. Please come up with a way to not compile Groff and gperf if NO_CXX is set. The assumption there is some external C++ compiler is a rather bogus one. If there is an external C++ compiler the user should be setting CXX= to it. The IA-64 case that Peter yelled at me about is also a very special case. The TYPICAL case is an Alpha or i386 box with NO_CXX set and which we cannot assume there is a C++ compiler available. Otherwise I will simply remove the NO_CXX option as it is broken otherwise.
