I have a patch that allows to build a working gcc (--enable-languages=c
only) with a C++ compiler. Are you interested in it?
I tried to get parts of it into mainline but as my patches were mostly
ignored I stopped tracking mainline, so it is a bit bitrotten. If you
are interested I could try to bring it back into shape for the current
mainline.
One thing that I noticed is that even new code frequently breaks C++
compatibility. People are very fond of using C++ keywords as variable
names...
