As obtained from FSF, there is only support for Unix platforms (almost all
of them).  However, others have done ports to DOS and to OS/2.  These
ports and where to get them are described in the FAQ list regularly posted
to gnu.g++.help.

correct.

Interactive is System V release 4.  SCO is SCO (a more idiosyncratic
hybrid SV system).

Almost.  There are bugs in the debugging support for g++ code under
SVR4 platforms on Intel processors, which effectively means you can't
use -g on such platforms for C++ code at present (it works for C code).

Don't know, haven't tried it.
