'-std=c++11' is valid for C++/ObjC++ but not for C

I m trying to build json-c with the following configuration:

./configure --target=arm-linux-androideabi --host=arm-linux-androideabi \
            --build=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

but I got the following error:

cc1: error: command line option '-std=c++11' is valid for C++/ObjC++ but not for C [-Werror]

I tried to add --disable-std-c++11 and --disable-std-cpp11 to the configure but I got always the same problem.

How to fix that?
