`g++' is a compiler, not a front-end for your local C compiler.
You need to have `gcc' to build `g++', if you can't get a Sun 3/50 executable.

Note carefully that some semantics are different from `cfront', and that
libraries built with `cfront' are not compatible with code compiled with
`g++' (Set me straight if your new release fixes this, Michael!)
