I'm trying to build a C++ extension on Cygwin, but it fails because distutils invokes gcc instead of g++. Looking into distutils internals, it turns out that compilation is assumed to be independent of the target language, while linking is not (CCompiler.compile() doesn't take a target_lang argument but CCompiler.link() does). Is there a good reason for this ?
