Our group is having problems with Sun's Sparc cfront:
1) It's slow compiling
2) dbx can't debug shared libraries

Does anyone know of a C++ compiler for the Sparc that
addresses any of these issues, but is compatible with
cfront compiled libraries?

I don't consider g++ compatible. Any guesses on
how much hacking would make it so? I've hacked on
g++ a little, but I don't know how much work to 
make the name mangling and virtual function table
layout compatible.
