gcc and g++ linker

Question

I am not yet at the point of linking, but as soon as my project compiles I will face this issue:

I have one c.o object file compiled by gcc from pure C code
I have one d.o object file compiled by g++ with extern"C" for C compatibility of functions that needs to be callable by the c.o
I have a lot of *.o object files compiled by g++ from pure C++ code that are called by the d.o part

How should I link the whole as a one block shared library? Using gcc or g++? This library will then be used by Apache2 as a C module.

Using g++ you can link both types of .o files. Only gcc will fail.

@ephemient: good point. The issue is indeed missing symbols, so that would be a workaround, too. – 0xC0000022L Mar 08 '11 at 13:48
