I understand your point, but I don't give up on the idea that the
entire compiler
including libgcc can be beneficially written so that it can be compiled with
a C++ compiler -- GCC would not be the first
compiler to do that. One of the benefits being that if you have a bootstrapping
C++ compiler, you won't actually need to build a C compiler in order
to build a fully functional g++ and its libraries.
But, I'm a pragmatic person: It only took 5-6 years to get here. So
maybe in 2013, we will move libgcc compilable with a C++ compiler :-)
Many thanks for doing this.
