I was wondering if anyone had done any further thinking about this.

It seems a team in Iceland succeeded in making Linux C++ enabled:
    http://netlab.ru.is/exception/LinuxCXX.shtml

Particularly interesting are the measurements for exception handling.

The Click Modular Router is an example of a test case for C++ in both 
the Linux and FreeBSD kernels.
