I see that some temporary measures were taken against this (though of course passing "-x c" to the C++ compiler is hardly portable).

Still, we need a proper solution. In the past, we usually simply changed all source code to C++. That may require modifying the code, though, and for an upstream project like lua, this may not be so desirable.

So we could bite the sour apple and add detection for a C compiler, as well as a build rule for that, too...
