We pick compiler based on file suffix, not directory, so it shouldn't matter where you put a .c file, it should always be compiled with gcc and .cpp files with g++. Which compiler is used to launch the linker can however differ. That's configured for each SetupNativeCompilation call with the different TOOLCHAIN settings.
