Great!

Yes, a large CPU is probably convenient when it comes to that kind of
experiments.  Hopefully, you've also got external SRAM on board, that
way you don't have to care for too many debugging strings and such.

Agreed.

I'm happy that you're making progress with that!  If you feel you need
to get CVS access for the avr-libc project, just tell us -- even if
it's ``only'' for maintaining documentation.  Right now, there's a
single and about 5 years old FAQ entry about C++, which might quickly
become stale if you continue making progress.  If you agree, maybe the
best idea would be to start a C++ FAQ instead of that single entry, or
maybe we should split the existing FAQ into three or four different
sub-FAQs per topic, and C++ will become one of them.

Unfortunately, getting changes into GCC might be a bit harder.
