As stands now gcc-g++ needs to be specified in BuildRequires if you're
using mach as there is nothing else in "C++ build" toolchain that
requires it.  If you leave it out, mach (correctly) removes the gcc-c++
package before attempting to build it.  Some of the others are
superfluous, but that one is not.
