State-Changed-Why: 
I debugged this in further depth, and it is apparently operator error: As
soon as you use any C++ library routines (whether directly or indirectly)
you need to link the final binary using g++, not gcc, and the g++ driver
then will link any additional libraries required.

The following would have worked for the example provided:
  gcc -Wall -c -fpic a.c
  c++ -Wall -c -fpic b.cc
  gcc -shared -o libab.so a.o b.o
  gcc -Wall -c c.c
  c++ -o c c.o ./libab.so
