RHIDE 1.4 wasn't designed with gcc 2.8.0 in mind.  The solution is
simple:  edit the file %DJDIR%/share/rhide/rhide.env (or create it if it
doesn't already exist), and put the following line in it:

RHIDE_TYPED_LIBS_DJGPP.cc=stdcxx

After doing this, RHIDE should link C++ programs correctly.


Good luck!
