What version of automake are you using?

I assume you're using libtool and that libGLU_la_SOURCES has files
which are identifiably C++ in it (.cc, .cxx, ...).  In that case, I
think g++ should automatically be used to link the library.

If that's all true, we can start by looking at the generated Makefile
to see what we're passing to libtool.  That will let us know if the
bug is in libtool, automake, or the configure code (presumably the
code that comes with libtool).

Also, what version of libtool are you using?
