You get errors because without -lstdcxx the linker doesn't find the C++ 
classes and functions your program uses.

Using gxx is just a way to avoid typing -lstdcxx on the command line.  
Since RHIDE is a program, not a person, it doesn't get tired of 
``typing'' another argument ;-).

That's because gxx uses -lstdcxx (note: 2 x's).  The problem solution for 
RHIDE is described in the DJGPP FAQ, section 8.7; please read it.
