Thanks, this is a good idea. Double thanks for the quick fix.

1) yes, it finds the breakage:
Tested-by: Sam James <sam@xxxxxxxxxx>

2) with the fix below (CC -> CXX):
Reviewed-by: Sam James <sam@xxxxxxxxxx>

3) another thing to think about is:
* -pedantic?
* maybe do one for a bunch of standards? (I think systemd does every
possible value [1])
* doing the above for C as well

I know that sounds a bit like overkill, but systemd
does it and it's cheap to do it versus the blowup if something goes
wrong. I don't have a strong opinion on this or how far you want to go
with it.
