My impression is that libraries that want to work with C and C++, but
don't, are very rare(*) and broken enough than it's worth fixing them
rather than putting complex workarounds in gnulib.  I would like to
see more cases before considering it worthwhile.

   (*) Also consider how obscure was the reason for this
   particular failure!
