Here's how to:
  - Check out the newest gnulib.
  $ ./gnulib-tool --create-testdir --dir=/tmp/testdir --libtool --with-tests 
string
  $ cd /tmp/testdir
  - In configure.ac and gltests/configure.ac, change LT_LANG([C++]) to
    LT_LANG([Windows Resource]).
  $ autoreconf -v
  $ ./configure
  $ make

Results:
/bin/sh ./libtool   --mode=link g++     -o test-string-c++ test-string-c++.o 
../gllib/libgnu.la  
libtool: link: unable to infer tagged configuration
libtool: link: specify a tag with `--tag'
make[4]: *** [test-string-c++] Error 1
