At this time, all packages using buildlinking need a C++ compiler.
Because the linking has CXX. (Unless something changed recently.) Can we
make buildlinking work if a C++ compiler is not installed?

I can not test now because the new mk/compiler/gcc.mk fails for me:

That was under databases/openldap on a Linux system. I didn't notice on
NetBSD 1.6.2 though.

It is doing:

${TYPE} ${CC}

My CC is "cc -pipe". I am trying to figure out where that -pipe was added.
I never noticed the -pipe by default before.

$ type cc -pipe
cc is /usr/bin/cc
bash: type: -pipe: not found
