I have noticed this myself. Apparently a standard Autoconf test is
used to test the C++ cpp, and if the test fails, configure exits with
an error. This may be an acceptable approach for C, but it is not a
friendly approach when testing C++, which may not be used by the
package, or may be used for an optional component.
