The checking is for non-C++ compilers on ancient Unixes.  It is in
"./maker/mkmake.c" which is wrapped with

  #ifndef __cplusplus
  ...
  #endif

so I'm not sure why it is activated.
It can happen if you once compiled it as C, while you are compiling it
as C++ now.  For example, it can reproduced as this:

 % make                ## possibly with CC=gcc or CC=cc
 % rm lib/libsubst.a
 % make CC=g++

DeleGate creates and use "mkmake.exe" from "./make/mkmake.c" as a
wrappper of make to cope with multiple platforms.  It is not removed
with "make clean" so it must be removed explicitly when you switch
CC from C to C++.

 % rm mkmake.exe

Cheers,
Yutaka
