I think I'd use
$(MAKE) -n
then capture the output and parse out the '*.cpp' files.
Something like this (not extensively tested):
what_to_make = \
$(shell $(MAKE) -n \
|sed -e 's/ /\n/g' \
|sed -e '/\.cpp$$/!d' \
)
.PHONY: what
what:
g++ $(what_to_make)
Well, it doesn't handle the nothing-to-build case elegantly.
