What's the internal builder? The Makefile generator? G++ isn't a internal

The error parser is known to be very faulty. See e.g. bug 75078
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=75078).

I remember that I have seen XML wrappers for compiler and maybe also linker
outputs. Maybe this would work better?
