As Gaby says, there are lots of people out there using other
approaches precisely because G++ can't be used in these ways.
Attracting those projects to G++ is part of what we should be trying

Well, with all due respect, if we want that market segment, we need a
SC/FSF direction change approval. Full in and out privs, ability to
vend libfrontend.a and so on. In the past, even when possible, we've
never paid much attention to their needs. Anything short of this I
think is just lip service.
