Re: Converting GCC to compilation with C++

How would it be different from the current situation
for the Ada front end? (Except that it would run afoul
of RMS's other bit about not rewriting bits in C++ that
are currently in C, which I did not fully understand.)

Much different, and much easier. We may get rid of GNU extensions in C++ so that it can be built in stage1. Or, toplevel bootstrap will make it significantly easier to provide a bootstrap target for people without a C++ compiler, that does not build the Java front-end in stage2.
