Just add --enable-build-with-cxx to the configure call.  The C++ testing 
wiki page has full details.

Perhaps you could use the script 
contrib/testsuite-management/validate_failures.py?  You can add those 
tests that are known to fail to a manifest file.  It will then only 
report the failures that are not in that manifest.

The only thing with this script is that it is not used by default by 
make check nor the testsuite reporting script.  You'd have to call it 
from there.


Thanks.  Diego.
