[CMake] Solaris using gcc to link instead of g++

[Michael Bell]

Bill,

I changed <CMAKE_C_COMPILER> to <CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER> and got the
results I was looking for. Thanks for your help.

I only have a limited view of things. Perhaps there could be an option
for making this change, with the default as running the C compiler.

thanks,
michael
