Is it already possible to build stage1 with c++ ?
The VMS targets are not yet ready with build in C++ mode. This target is somewhat special because it can be built only with a cross-compiler (we don't support regular 3 stages native builds because there is no complete and working well enough UNIX emulation tools).
I started to build g++ (and gfortran) for ia64 and alpha VMS in order to prepare this transition, but having a soft path would be better to me.
(Clearly VMS is not a blocking target for the GCC community - that's not the point).
