Better.

There is still one potential significant issue due to multi-lingual
environments.  There may be situtations where the C compiler accepts
these options, but the C++ compiler does not.  This can happen if the
C compiler and C++ compiler come from different vendors but are
otherwise compatible.  In this situation, C++ programs may refuse to
link.
