You are aware that the Linux kernel was kept compilable under g++ for
a while in its history? You'll need more than vague words to erase
the memories from that experiment...
Just compiling under C++, with no source changes, is likely to impact
performance and compile time rather badly, not to mention portability
(you need the C++ runtime, for one thing).
