It starts the linking (ln command) with /usr/bin/g++ -->
/etc/alternatives/g++ --> /usr/bin/colorg++ --> /usr/bin/colorgcc. 
G++ is acting as a link.  If executed in the same manner as g++ to
create an a.out file, without options, colorgcc doesn't execute like
g++.

Is the documentation on my system to know how to use different things
like "-lstdc++" with g++?  What would the files be?  I didn't find
anything in the man page.
