Has anyone ported GNU g++ to run under XENIX on a 286 AT? 

From looking at the code generation config files, I'm convinced that g++
doesn't include the hooks to accommodate processors with segmented
architectures. But then, automobiles no longer have a hole in the front
bumper to facilitate crank starting their engines either.

Hacking up g++ to generate code for the 286's various memory models would
be more of an ordeal than I care to endure. Therefore, I would
appreciate it if anyone could direct me to either:

	 A) someone who has already successfully completed such a port, and is
	 willing to share the fruits of their labors, or

	 B) source (or 286 XENIX executable) for a PD C++ pre-processor 
	 which spits out standard C code, acceptable to the XENIX native C
	 compiler.

Thanx in advance.
