I have successfully gotten COFF g++ to work.  I am about to work on
encapsulated COFF.  This was a beta version of g++.  I don't want to
post patches until g++ 1.39 is released (very soon).  I will mail
them, but be prepared to spend some time merging them into g++ 1.37.1.

Warning: the SysVr3 linker appears very buggy.  I am having a lot of
trouble with ld(1) dumping core trying to handle the libg++ test
suite.  Encapsulated COFF may be the only practical way to use g++.
