However, if I write a C++ program that calls domp_malloc, and try to build it with my special g++, the linker cannot find the definition of domp_malloc, so my build fails. What else can I do to make domp_malloc visible to the C++ linker?

Aha! It's declared as
void * domp_malloc(size_t);
in a header I #include into my program--but I had forgotten to mark that #include as "extern 'C'." I just tried that and it works!--
extern "C" {
#include domp_defs.h
}
So this turned out not to be a GCC issue but just my lack of practice in mixing C and C++ code. Thank you so much for the hint!
