The exact flag we use is not hard coded, it's determined by
AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX() during configure.  We *could* ask it for a
strictly standard-compliant mode, but we're not that concerned about
it.  We might want to use some GCC extension, based on some other
configure test, or whatnot.

Thanks.  So, we've been passing "-xobjective-c" unconditionally to all
compiled files on Mac.  Commit 06950be7f0 should fix that, only passing
it when compiling C files.
