Distutils and MinGW with C++

[Martin v. Löwis]

> Any help would be appreciated.

Whether or not g++ is used to link extension modules is a configuration
option determined at the time Python is built; you have to
use --enable-cxx, and your compiler must require linking with g++, else
linking occurs with gcc.

It appears that the MingW Python was built with gcc 2.95.2, and so you
must use the same compiler for extensions, or rebuild Python.
