Hello,
first, your patch is against Automake, not Autoconf, so let's move to
bug-automake.

Automake contains code to circumvent this limitation for C compilers.
And it is much more complicated than your patch.
(Your patch means that -o would not be used with any C++ compiler, and that
would be a big performance hit with some projects, at least.)
It seems that this limitation was not yet observed with C++ compilers.
Could you please post the version of your OS and C++ compiler?
Have a nice day,
Stepan Kasal
