I found a way to link using the g++ libraries, but it requires going
back to the Makefile.am stage. You put
nodist_EXTRA_denemo_SOURCES = dummy.cxx
into Makefile.am in the src directory, and this causes it to use g++ for
compiling the src files and hence links in the c++ libraries.
I think I have this working with the git master branch.
*BUT* whenever I generate a tarball from git master (using make dist) I
get something which won't work inside mxe, this time I get

make[3]: *** No rule to make target `../../denemo/libsmf/smf.c', needed
by `libsmf_a-smf.o'.  Stop

before I was getting something similar with portaudio, or portmidi or
some such.

So, question:
How are you generating the release candidate tarballs that appear on
denemo.org/downloads?

Without being able to create a tarball myself that will build with mxe I
can't go back to the Makefile.am stage (as the tarball has that step
already done).
