The configure script is overriding the CXX definition since it is
GCC and we don't want an (unnecessary) dependency on libstdc++.

I don't know if that part of the configure script will stay for CUPS
1.2 now that the GCC C++ ABI is more stable (mainly an issue for folks
that package binaries to run on multiple Linux distros), but that is
the reason...
