Does anyone know how to force a C++ compilation to use extern "C" style
linkage *without* wrapping all of the code in extern "C" clauses?

We have a largish chunk of C that needs to be compiled as C++ (so we can
overload floating point with our faster version), but its complaining
badly at link time. I really don't want to hack the source too much
before we get the final version... is there a nice gcc hack available?

We'd like it to work on djgpp/pgcc and ccpsx, although we can live with
a djgpp only hack.
