Welcome to DejaGNU, a horrible program which should be removed from
reality and sent to spend a thousand lifetimes as a servant to the elder
gods.  The cruel ones.

That said, you can try something along the lines of

  global target_triplet
  set comp_output [g++_target_compile "source.c" "source.o" "object" ""]
  set comp_output [g++-dg-prune $target_triplet $comp_output]
  if [string match "" $comp_output] {
    # Success!
  } else {
    # failure....
    verbose -log $comp_output
  }
