I'm trying to remember the reason NO_CXX actually exists -- I believe it's 
because our sparc64 port didn't have working C++ for some period of time, 
so we didn't build C++ (and its dependencies).  It could well be that 
NO_CXX is OBE, and we can eliminate it entirely?  I.e., C++ support 
libraries and applications are now a basic requirement as DHCP is broken 
without them?
