The 'info' file for cpp from gcc-2.7.2 says the following:
`-lang-c'
`-lang-c89'
`-lang-c++'
`-lang-objc'
`-lang-objc++'
Specify the source language. `-lang-c' is the default; it allows
recognition of C++ comments (comments that begin with `//' and end
at end of line), since this is a common feature and it will most
likely be in the next C standard. `-lang-c89' disables
recognition of C++ comments. `-lang-c++' handles C++ comment
syntax and includes extra default include directories for C++.
`-lang-objc' enables the Objective C `#import' directive.
`-lang-objc++' enables both C++ and Objective C extensions.
These options are generated by the compiler driver `gcc', but not
passed from the `gcc' command line unless you use the driver's
`-Wp' option.
The standard FreeBSD compiler driver must be passed -lang-c89 to cpp.
Try adding -Wp -lang-c to your cc options and see if that works.
