The examples carry part of the test suite. So I don't want to disable them. The actual problem here is that the configure tests did not catch that your compiler is not trustworthy. The real fix is to strengthen these checks. I'll need your help to make sure the new tests do catch this problem. > If anyone knows how to disable the C++ examples, it would be greatly > appreciated.

Running `./configure CXX=false` will address your concern. Cheers!
