  Forgive the cross-posting, I'm never sure if what I've found is
a bug or just some stupidity on my part.

  I did a full gcc-2.5.7 build under SCO 3.2v4.2, with the config
option "i486-sco3.2v4.2", using both gnu as and ld.  I made the entire
stage1, stage2, compare, and everything worked.  I finished it off with

  $ make install CC="stage2/xgcc -Bstage2/" CFLAGS="-g -O"

so I should have C, C++, Objective C and the proto tools.  So far,
so good.  (Trying to make objc-runtime failed as it did not know
how to make hash.o.  Any hints?  Could this possibly be the problem?
I doubt it.)

  If I write the ubiquitous "hello, world" program, this compiles
nicely with

  $ gcc hello.c

  However, trying

  $ g++ hello.c

fails miserably.  The culprit is the cc1plus program 
/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i486-sco3.2v4.2/2.5.7/cc1plus.  The error
message I get is:

  gcc: Installation problem, cannot exec cc1plus.  No such file or
        directory.

  Well, the above file has no "x" permission bits turned on.  The
"file" command thinks it's just "data".  I used chmod to turn on 
execute permissions on that file.  Once again, "file" still thinks
the file is type "data".  This time, running "g++ hello.c"
generates:

  gcc: Installation problem, <reference to that file>, Exec format error.

  This is the reason I can't build libg++-2.5.2.  Any reason why this
should be happening?  I don't recall any build errors that should
have affected this.
