Could C (or even KR-C) as a supported target platform solve
many of the problems with respect to a front-end
written in C++ or any other language?
In that case, one would have not only a Fortran to C
(similar to the existing F2C), but also an ADA2C, C++2C etc.
For bootstrapping (and maybe for the distribution) of GCC,
one could use the C-"compiled" version of GCC,
although the real source is written in some other language.
