If a program which is based on C language depends on a library which is implemented in C++, the C++ compiler should be used to link the program. Otherwise C++ static initialization may not work right, or linking may fail entirely. Libtool doesn't currently offer any provision to do that.
The installed .la file for a C++ library does not indicate the implementation language, or what linker should be used. When the C++ library was built using modern GCC then libstdc++.la is listed as a library dependency so at some clue may be gleaned from that fact. It seems to me that this is a fundamental flaw in muti-lingual libtool as it exists today.
