I've worked on mixed-language projects that require language-specific
support libraries, for example, C, C++, and Fortran.  To make life worse,
these projects have had to support multiple compilers from different
vendors.

In the end, it gets solved by determining the exact list of support
libraries needed and specifying them explicitly.  If gcc could figure this
out automatically with a collect2-based approach, as has been suggested,
that might be nice, but I still would have had to figure out how to make
the app work for the other compilers.  Looking at the output of "g++ -v"
or "g77 -v" gives the information you need, you write the Makefile, and
you're done.
