That's not why. It's because if all of your source files for a target
are .c, but you link with a .la file containing C++ then you need to
link using a C++ linker. Automake doesn't know that there's C++ in the
static library, so it doesn't know to link with g++.

So I can't review this patch, because I don't know whether what you're
trying to do is based on reality or not.
