[comp.lang.c++] porting g++ to a Cray

Has anyone ported the Gnu C++ compiler (g++) to
a Cray running UNICOS?  For that matter gcc?

I imagine the biggest problem in doing a scalar port would be the 64-bit
word length.  That might well be trivial next to trying to do peephole
vectorization.  I would see little point in doing it unless it could produce
reasonably vectorized code.
