Is it possible to convince waf to use g++ for linking certain modules?

Just for linking? Try something like this:

from TaskGen import after, feature
@after('apply_link')
@feature('cprogram')
def protobuf_link_target(self):
     if self.name == 'target name':
          self.link_task.env.CC = 'g++'

It is of course best if the c++ compiler is detected with a configuration test.
