I found this was also case on Tru64 where you get a c compiler but no
c++ compiler in base (though the failure is slightly different, the
command to extract symbols from libraries fails for me).

libtool should not depend on a c++ compiler, though. the right fix is
to rearrange the libtool configure script so that ac_compile and
ac_link are only set to $CXX after the other tests have been run.
libtool is compiler-dependent and any change to the compiler
environment requires a rebuild of libtool, including adding a c++
compiler later.

grant.
