Lest I scared people off prematurely, let me give a followup review.

I feel g++ is in a state worthy of using as a development tool
provided the following facts are understood.

a) g++ itself is still under development.
b) it has a debugger.
c) the language parsed/compiled is slightly different that that
parsed/compiled by the at&t preprocessor.

Bottom line is that most errror messages are better than standard
although some are still cryptic.  Any discrepancies in language parsed
can be dealt with easily for NEW code.  comverting existing c++ code
MAY not be trivial.

The flood of problems I saw earlier are almost certainly due to
installation errors.  (hello.)
