The changes required to port c++ to the masscomp mc5500 were trivial.

The changes required were:

1. Modified CCc to add line O="O +L" because masscomp cc expects .c files
2. Set iobuf size to 512 From 1024 in stdio.h (BUFSIZ)
3. Set nobufs from 20 to 40 in stdio.h (_NFILE)
4. Modify *_ptr and *_base fields in _iobuf to unsigned char (also in stdio.h).

If you plan to use mdb with your c++ programs, save the output of the 
translator (as ..c files).  One way to do that is to modify the CCc
shell script to recognize a debug flag and, if present, skip the delete 
of the ..c files.  You will also have to tell mdb that the source files
are ..c of course.
