I just looked at it a little more and to me the configure is check the C 
compiler and not C++ compiler:
Looking at config.log

# ./configure CC='cc' CXX='CC'
configure:17560: checking if CC supports -ansi
configure:17578: cc -c -g  -ansi conftest.c >&5
configure:17582: $? = 0
configure:17594: result: yes

double checked with gcc:
# ./configure
configure:17575: checking if g++ supports -ansi
configure:17593: gcc -c -g -O2  -ansi conftest.c >&5
configure:17597: $? = 0
configure:17610: result: yes

Unless, i am looking at the wrong things?
