From a previous (long) discussion on this topic, yes, gcc can and will work
on a NeXT. You have to, however, make some slight modifications to the code
to get it too work. GNU uses a slightly different naming methods on method
calls, so you need to patch the code to use NeXT's method. Also, the don't,
by default, support #import, so you have to turn this feature on. With these
two items enabled, people reported that the Objective-C compiler worked quite
well on a NeXT.

You should be able to get a copy of the discussion from archive sites. I 
remember one post included patches to make it work.

I can't comment on the c++ aspects. Having learn OOP under Objective-C, I'm
generally loath to program under c++, except for when I have to. I prefer
simplicity over some of c++ more obscure features.
