OK, this is known: a couple of tweaks to the Makefile (to use g++ instead of 
gcc to link) are needed and extern "C" must be added all over the place, see:
  http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2009-06/msg00635.html

I can post an updated patch if you want, but saying that the Ada front-end 
blocks the use of C++ in gcc is unfair; it is (and has always been) neutral.
