It's not (just) "ok", it's unavoidable. GNU/automake has a long-standing bug 
whereby the target is C++-linked whenever it has a C++ source, even when the 
C++ source is conditional and not currently used. If you had merged IOMX into 
OMX, the OMX plug-in would always link against libstdc++.

See also the hacks to avoid C++ in the DTV access plug-in.
