Check with AT&T for Cfront (the original C++ compiler, compiling to
C).  Other than that, SAS institute had a C++ to C compiler (not
converter - it is more advanced than that), and something called Green
Leaf Systems (? search old comp.sys.amiga.programmer archives to be
certain) had one.  I've not been into this market for almost 4 years,
so I have no idea on the current state-of-the-art.  Perhaps a C
backend for GCC would be feasible to implement?  I know there was some
work on one, but haven't heard anything about this for almost a year.
