With older versions of libtool (<1.5) you had to do something like this:

sed -e 's/CC="gcc"/CC="g++"/g' libtool > lt.tmp && mv -f lt.tmp libtool

after the call to configure.  But, libtool 1.5 (released into unstable about a
month ago) does this automatically.  You'll need to rerun the maintainer
scripts (automake, libtoolize, etc.) to pick up the effects.
