It would be worth trying:

LD=$CXX

It might be more complicated than that, but the makefile.mingw seems to
disprove this:

- You must use your C++ compiler when compiling main() (e.g., for static
initialization)
- Your C++ compiler should direct the linking process (e.g., so it can
get its special libraries)
