Don't have Windows here, sorry.

There's no reason why it should be restrained to a single CPU core.
All currently released official versions of gcc are able to compile
the C++ frontend for the AVR platform (although not libstdc++, but
that's almost obvious given its huge size).  However, they are unable
to call global constructors or destructors.  So, it's mainly a problem
whether someone has packaged up a GCC binary distribution for Windows
that contains the C++ frontend.  Of course, you've got the source, so
you can always do it yourself...

In Marek's current version (GCC available from CVS), he has added the
ability to call global constructors and destructors, so this should
make a full-fledged C++ compiler.  (Of course, again without a
libstdc++.)
