NO_IMPLICIT_EXTERN_C is not set - leads to C++ compilation errors

[Andreas Pokorny]

Steps to reproduce:
$ mkdir foo
$ echo "template<typename C> struct Blubber {};" > foo/foo.h
$ echo "#include \"foo.h\"" > foo.cpp
$ arm-none-eabi-g++ -isystem /home/andreas/foo/ foo.cpp -o FOO
In file included from foo.cpp:1:0:
/home/andreas/foo/foo.h:1:1: error: template with C linkage
 template<typename C> struct Blubber {};
 ^~~~~~~~

The compiler package is usually used in conjunction with newlib and libstdc++-arm-none-eabi-newlib so the C library being used is c++ aware.

Note that this shortcoming also troubles a lot of people that use the alternative none-eabi compiler available from arm directly: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded/+bug/1698539 but they show exceptional do-not-care attitude.
