This is an example of the alternative approach I was thinking of: only
run the C++ tests if the C++ compiler works.  Does this look OK?

It could work, but I think you should
a) rm -f conftest.*
b) C++ ac_compile is
   $CXX -c $CXXFLAGS $CPPFLAGS conftest.$ac_ext
   so you should probably use $CXXFLAGS $CPPFLAGS too, not sure if
   .cc vs. .cpp extension could matter for any weird compilers.
c) >&5 should probably be >&AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD

For MSVC it makes a difference.  Not sure if there is any danger of GCC
ever being compiled with it though.  :-)

A compile-only test doesn't catch whether linking fails though, nor
whether preprocessing is borked for some other reason; I don't think
this is all that relevant though.

Agreed on all other accounts.
