What I did for this yesterdays was:
1. added stuff in gnustep-make's configure to work-around a bug in autoconf 
where it was reporting the presence of g++ for CXX even when no working 
compiler existed!
2. fixed a bug in gnustep-tests so that it really does skip .mm files if there 
is no objective-c++ compiler
3. fixed those new tests to be bracketed with #if defined(GSTESTDEV) ... so 
they are only run in 'developer' mode .... these tests make no sense in general 
since they are using functionality which does not exist on the vast majority of 
systems, so we shouldn't be running them routinely.

Yes, that's a real bug ... I had a quick look at the code there and don't 
really understand what it's trying to do ... perhaps Stefan can manage a quick 
fix?
