c++ should work just fine. Something is wrong with your setup.

I have a slightly egcs-971023 (modified to desupport named section support
to make C++ templates usable) running as a cross quite well. C/C++/F77 all
work quite well, and I have yet to get the 'Not a valid NT exec' error.
The error message is symptomatic of a binutils bug where the stripping an
executable will remove .stab and .stabstr sections and NT will refuse to
run it. The recent binutils snapshots fix that problem. Could try running
w/out stripping the binaries?
