g++ does some pretty gross stuff with FILE, uncessesarily mucking about in
the internals of stdio.  This is inherently non-portable.

The particular problem you're having can be fixed by simply turning
on USG_STDIO in the Makefile, but that's not all you'll need to do to
it to get g++ to work.  I'm currently working on g++ for our 2.0 release.
I will post diffs & instructions as soon as I get it working.
