Albert, I don't know if you saw my reply on the mailing list but I
recently checked into CVS a change that might help.  Now "extconf.rb"
sets CONFTEST_C to "conftest.cc" before testing for C++ features.
This should mean that the C++ feature tests are compiled as C++
(rather than C) on all platforms.  (Until now this was only true on
GNU-based systems.)  I'd appreciate knowing if this has helped you.
If you still have problems I will investigate some more.

Cheers,
