Why does gcc toolset link with g++ for C code?

Hi all,

I was wondering why the gcc toolset links with g++, even for C code. 
At home I only need to compile C code, and so I only downloaded the
gcc binaries; I did not bother to download the g++ binaries. When I
ran bjam, it died because there was no g++.

It's not a big deal (I can change the toolset or download g++), but
was curious why the toolset was designed this way.

Thanks,

Jordan
