Ever heard of cross compilation?
This idea that you need to support bad compiler is bullshit, just use your x86-64 g++ to compile an x86-64 to $bootstrap g++, then use the latter to compile a native $bootstrap g++.

The GCC switch to C++ changes completely nothing in terms of system bootstrap. Zero lines of code must be changed anywhere because of that.
