What operating system are you using?

What is "C++ 6.0"?

What do you mean by "release" and "debug".  How do these settings alter the
invocation of the compiler?

The answers to these questions can help us provide insight on your first
question.


For your last question, on UNIX/Linux platforms gcc is invoked by R CMD
SHLIB with the flags specified in $R_HOME/etc/<system architecture>/Makeconf 
.  Important entries are:

  SHLIB_CFLAGS
  SHLIB_CXXFLAGS
  SHLIB_FFLAGS


Hope this helps.
