[Bug c++/44910] New: Incorrect template with C linkage errors

I have a x-compiler with a custom target for my hobby operating system. In the
x-compiler's installation directory sys-include is symlinked to the directory
in my OS's source tree containing all the userspace headers. Despite this my
build system was passing -I<path to header directory> to G++.
When I removed that argument, I started getting "template with C linkage"
errors from C++ code. There were no differences between the preprocessed input
with and without that argument, except that the file/line number information
was different, which obviously shouldn't be causing that error.
>From comparing the two sets of preprocessed input, I have determined that the
following code will cause the errors:
# 1 "somefilename" 1 3 4
template <typename T> class Test {};
This code, however, compiles without issues:
# 1 "somefilename" 1
template <typename T> class Test {};
Both are compiled with "x86_64-kiwi-g++ -c -o testcase.o testcase.cc". The full
error that I receive with the first piece of code is:
In file included from testcase.cc:1:0:
somefilename:1:1: error: template with C linkage
GCC was configured with the following options:
../gcc-4.5.0/configure --prefix=/home/alex/bin/kiwi-cross/x86_64-kiwi
--target=x86_64-kiwi --enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-libstdcxx-pch
--disable-shared --enable-lto
