The breakage Gary is seeing seems conceptually very similar to my
problem.  In what was releaased, and today's git head.   My issue was
g++ blowing up on NetBSD's sys/timepps.h, and Gary's is that building a
C file with g++ is causing mixed C/C++ linkage.  The root cause is using
g++ on a C source file, combined with not consistently using "extern C"
around includes.

I realize there is some notion of building C++ for qt stuff.  But it
seems that there should be C++ glue code (built as C++) that links
against the C library (built normally as C).
