It's more a case of how does make decide which compiler to use.
Normally, it's the source file suffix that determines it, so
file.c would cause make to invoke the rule for .c files which
would call the C compiler (gcc) and file.cpp would invoke the rule
for .cpp files which would call the C++ compiler (g++).

It sounds like the project _is_ pure C and should be compiled
as pure C, but for some reason the C++ compiler is incorrectly
being called for one or more files.

If you can zip up the project and email it to me, I'll have
a look and see if I can spot what's going wrong.
