I was writing a compiler in C++ on an SGI Iris a year ago, so I can vouch
that it is feasible.  There were a few minor bugs, but we were using an
early version of cfront, not even the latest one available at that time.
I seem to recall that the reason it had not been upgraded was because it
required a fair amount of massaging before installing.  I also know that
someone at SGI is or was using C++.  Unfortunately, the name escapes me
just now.  Definitely someone with a net address, though.

Good luck.
