Does that require editing a Makefile?
If so, I think I found the place to do it,
but if not, that would be better.

Thank you for the suggestion.
Others reading this should remember that a .c file compiled as C++
produces the same kind of object file as a .cc or .cpp file
compiled as C++.
It will have the same sort of name mangling and linkage requirements.
Not hard to remember, but I know from experience that it can be
frustrating if you don't.
