You need the most recent version of both GNU-CC [2.3.3], which 
contains a g++ compiler, and libg++.

You won't be able to bootstrap GCC-2.3.3, because some tables in 
AT&T's C-compiler are simple too small. BTW: It will/might produce
wrong code for the more elegant list/tree handling implemented by RMS.

Someone on net offered binaries of gcc-1.37 for AT&T 3B2 some years 
ago. You should get them ....

There will be a lot of work to make header files fit ...

Remark: There were _UGLY_ bugs around fopen/fclose in AT&T's 
libc.a, which made using IOstreams of the older libg++ impossible.

On fclose  file buffer was always freed, regardless whether it was
allocated by malloc or provided otherwise.... produced lots of
SIGSEGs on closing of a file....

best, adams
