The first bug I found occurs when g++ includes <mach.h> (and all those files included therein). The structure definition for i387_env in file i386/fpreg.h uses unnamed bitfields of type u_int. This gets a parse error under g++ (but works with gcc). A workaround is to "#include <sys/types.h>" then "#define u_int unsigned int" before including mach.h. I'm interested in hearing from other people using g++ under Mach.
