You're welcome to try. The main issue is that most of the configure
checks are performed using the C compiler, and any Makefile variables
are set appropriately for the C compiler.

If your C and C++ compilers are gcc and g++, you'll probably be okay,
as both understand most of the same options and interpret them the
same. If you try to use unrelated compilers, the C++ compiler may not
like being passed options which were intended for the C compiler.
