Right. The NestedVM makefile is lazy, and only builds what it needs to,
which means if it isn't building anything that needs c++, it won't ever
build the c++ compiler. Make cxxtest will force it to do this though
(or make upstream/tasks/build_gcc_step2, but that it hard to remember).

This is how it is supposed to be. NestedVMs build process builds a
private copy of gcc entirly within it's own build directory. It will
never touch anything outside its build directory. You should add
`pwd`/upstream/install/bin to your path (or "make env.sh", and source
that in your shell, which will set your PATH, as well as a handfull of
other environment variables) to use the compiler it built.
