I am not sure but I think that you sould try it:
1. Compile C code to, for example, file ccode.o
2. Compile C++ code to, for example, file cppcode.o
3. Using LD link files ccode.o and cppcode.o
You can compile both C code and C++ code using gcc.

To use C++ code in your kernel you will need to build some support code, namely the code which initialises the contructors for the global objects in your kernel. Oh, and try to avoid run-time-typing of variables, though inheritance is still allowed.
