[comp.sys.mips] C++

Can anyone tell me if any C++ compilers and/or decent ports are available
for Mips computers? I haven't heard of a single one - apart from the
do-it-yourself AT&T.

Thanks in anticipation.

Building the AT&T C++ 2.0 translator for the MIPS M2000-8 running
RISCOS4.0, took about an hour. The do it yourself part is not hard.
For the MIPS machine, a translator is better than a compiler, because
MIPS has done a alot of work optimizing their compiler for the MIPS RISC
architecture.
