Hello,

  here is the answer to Michael Almonds problem getting g++/OSF to
work on his DecStation. There is a nasty litttle bug in gcc.c from
g++-osf-1.9.2.11. To fix it  look for the pattern:

argv0_len > 0        and change it into
argv0_len >= 0

 Then g++ should also work when invoked as 'g++'. There is still a
better solution: get gcc from gcc-osf-1.9.2.14 and have a link of the
form 'ln -s /usr/local/bin/gcc /usr/local/bin/g++'.
