Mmm, i think the problem where between XFree86 driver code (C), linux
kernel drm modules (C) and mesa DRI drivers (C also, only glu is C++).
But then, maybe some third party projects where using C++ for their
drivers or something such.

No, and i don't care. Most C bindings will come from packaged libraries,
which will use the default compiler. Maybe we will have problems with
the gcc package version changing over time though. If they build their
own third party C bindings or rebuild packages themselves, they are big
enough to sort out possible problems.
