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.

BTW, putting the setting in 'rhide.env' is a better option than putting
it in 'djgpp.env', because it's very likely that the next version of
RHIDE will have the problem corrected.

You don't need to.  The only reason to use 'gpp' is to link the C++
libraries, which RHIDE does all by itself.
