It's a free, but definitely not public-domain, C++ compiler for many
machines, probably including the '386.

Why was this posted to comp.lang.c and comp.std.c?  g++ is a C++
compiler, not a C compiler.

Obtainable where Free Software Foundation software is found, at better
archive sites everywhere.  I don't know anything about g++
specifically, except that it builds on gcc, so you may need a gcc
distribution as well.
