>> Huh? It thinks that C++ compiler is available.

EZ> Perhaps it knows that gcc can compile C++ programs?

Yes, it does. It uses 'gcc' for compiling C++ programs as a last
resort, however in my case it does not check that it works!

Try my configure script without AC_PROG_CC.  It will abort: 'C++ compiler
cannot produce working executables'.  I would expect similar check
from original script I've posted, but there isn't any. And CXX and
CXXFLAGS are happily subsituted in Makefiles with this script.

EZ> If it thinks a C++ compiler is not

No no I'm talking about situation where C++ compiler is _not_
available.
