gnulib code is meant to be compiled with a C compiler. The header files
are supposed to be consumable by a C or a C++ compiler.

If the issues you find, trying to compile gnulib code in C++ mode,
are easy to fix, we may do so. But in other areas (e.g. 'enum' handling)
I'm not sure we will want to go through the contortions.
