As I understood it the only fix is to not use AC_PROG_CXX at all (i.e. 
require AC_LIBTOOL_TAGS), since that macro always sets CXX = g++ in the
case where it can't find a C++ compiler.  So with your patch, I still
get the same failure:

See `config.log' for more details.

(with a change added the echo inside the if branch)
