Ah! I thought this would be `xlc++', which is not in $PATH, unlike
`xlC', which is. Now I see that xlC is symlinked from
/usr/vacpp/bin/xlC, where the `xlc++' also exists (as a symlink to the
same file.)
That's great, thanks for the notice! So I'll change one instance to
use xlC/xlc++ throughout the build. However I still think that the
patch itself is correct and thus would like to discuss it to gain
final approval.
Thanks, JBG
