	If you look at the internal rules of make, ( you know those
strange looking rules like .c~.a :-) )  They all use ${CC} as the name of
the processor for any  .c  files.  All you have to do is set.

CC=C++; export CC

before you make and Voila!

P.S.
    For more extraordinary circumstances you could replace CC by a shell.
