[gnu.g++] pieces parts of C and C++

  Hi there.  After a minor configuration error I managed to get g++ up
and running on our 3/80s.  I am now trying to convert pieces of game
code to c++.  The first stage I took was to rename almost everything
to .cc extensions.  I do, however, need to link much of this with some
hideous old classic style C code so that those modules can be reused
on other architectures that don't have g++ yet.

  I assume that gcc and g++ can link as long as the link points are
are straight C function calls.  The main problem is with our standard
include files.  They have no prototyping in them.  I could go in as
root and "fix" them but this would break everyone else's code.  Is
there any way to have g++ search another include directory like
.../gnu/lib/g++-include?  Does it already?  Maybe I need to copy over
the include files into g++-include and edit them there?  Help . . .
suggestions please.

  Thanks, 
  THOTH out -=O=-
