I don't know if ghc uses any C++ code, but it I doesn't look like it does. It's probably just linked to libraries that are in the C++ ABI transition. libgmp3 was in the C++ abi transition but is now a plain C library package. You should probably be able to build it using gcc 3.3 (or 3.4) instead for now. That means you'll have to build depend on the right version of the compiler, and tell configure to use it.
