No, you cannot.  gcc and g++ are are not the same version.  g++ is from
the egcs-1.0.x distribution (the same for g77).  gcc was not updated to
the egcs version since there are still some problems with egcs gcc, which
is why you have 2.7.2.3 and egcs-2.90.26 directories.  Both gcc and g++
expect those certain subdirectories that depend on the version of the
compiler.  For this reason, you cannot combine the 2.7.2.3 and
egcs-2.90.26 subdirectory.
