For a C++ library, this can't work: the C++ ABIs conflict.

For a C library, it should be possible.

If the makefiles follow normal conventions, specify

  CC=x:/path/to/whatever-C-compiler
  CXX=x:/path/to/whatever-C++-compiler
  ...also linker etc.

You'll have this problem:

but you could write a wrapper to translate the flags.
Then you'd specify, e.g.

  CC=x:/path/to/my-wrapper-for-whatever-C-compiler
