In a way it is true, but the main problem is that he tries to use a
C++ compiler to build C source.

Consider a classic hello.c.

This gives a working binary:

g++ -x c hello.c

This gives similar errors to NeedHelps:

g++ -x c -c hello.c
g++ -x c hello.o

The problem is that in the link step you tell the compiler to treat hello.o as
a C file. That fails.

I have already given NeedHelp a solution/workaround in the thread
"Configure "-x c" options with "--with-cflags" does not work for me."
