Well, to bring you up to date on the current discussion:

Mike Stump has apparently succeeded in getting g++ and InterViews to work 
for the most part, however, he is using gcc-1.92 which is a alpha-beta 
predecessor to gcc-2.0 an improved, new C compiler which will complete
the merger of C and C++ and add Objective C for good measure. Apparently,
(and I am guessing here), gcc-2.0 will come out probably close to the same
time that X11R5 comes out, and InterViews 3.0 release , (as opposed to
IV3.0 Beta), it may be that IV-3.0 will compile and run when used with
the new gcc. 

I have succeeded in getting everything to compile with g++-1.39 (the current
release), however, it doesn't work. I have not had time to iron out all of
these bugs, (I'm stuck on a somewhat uninteresting Motif project), and 
based on Mike's comments I'm not sure if it would be worth my while, 
particularly if I have to go down to the level of testing individual objects
one at-a-time. 

I guess the answer is : yes, you can indeed compile with g+-1,39, ( the current
release), but no it does
not function, e.g. Not a single application works without core dumping in
different places.. and gdb doesn't work well with g++-1.39.. another wait
until gdb-4.0 comes out things.
