I agree the error message is misleading... "gcc" is a wrapper, as explained above. It tries to launch sequentially "cpp", "cc1", "as", and "collect2" (which in turn launches "ld"). If it does not find one of those files, it just writes "not found" to stderr. With a -v argument, it is more verbose, and prints the actual program file it is trying to launch. It would eventually print "not found", but at least, it would tell _what_ is not found.
