does glibc "make check" run any C++ test cases?

I think the answer to my question is no - at least I don't see any c++ test cases anywhere in any component directory. In which cases - is this by intention or otherwise?
I ask because recently after building and installing my own glibc 2.11.1, including 100% success reported on the make check, compilation of certain c++ programs (including some very basic examples) started failing. I appreciate that the purpose of glibc test cases is to test glibc code, and compilation of a c++ program is primarily a gcc task; but, like it or not, compilation of c++ programs does involve glibc code and header files, and in my case it was the change of glibc level which gave rise to the failure, so it seems to me it would help if there were just a couple of basic c++ programs in the test bucket.
(I found out the cause of the failure and fixed it and not complaining about that, but would have preferred it be found in make check.).
