That is your problem.  Don't do it.

Autoconf's job is difficult enough without trying to make all its macros
work with either C or C++ compilers.  They haven't tried.  If you think
it is critical that they should try, go off and join the GNU autoconf
team.

Back to actually solving the problem: you should be letting CC=gcc and
CXX=g++ as the system is expecting.  I don't know what problem you are
trying to solve, but I can assure you that switching those two symbols
around is *not* the path to a solution.  What happens when you try to
build the system without forcing the wrong choice of compilers?
