OK well, maybe the above patch is partly OBE because c++ is now required,
but I guess other people might argue similarly for other languages.

I personally don't think that's such a good idea, and reconfiguring gcc
is needed frequently anyway, and as we can see in this discussion, this does
have unwanted side effects.

This specific patch is "OK", but if we end up finding out that more of such
hacks are needed, then we'll have to revisit the whole issue and find
another solution.

Same thing if we find out that your patch is causing unexpected side
effects, we'll have to revert the patch.
