Unfortunately g++ 7 is c++ already. The last C g++ is gcc-4.7.4. Didn't know of
this gcc 4.7 branch (I stay far away from svn which is a real pain to build and
so ugly compared to git). My guess is this branch is actually dead (6 years) or not
working. If I am wrong, it would be good news for aarch64/arm64 bootstrapping
from C (namely you would not need a x86* system to build the stuff).
