I looked into something related but unfortunately didn't get very far
either: Instead of trying to get all of MPW to run, I just wanted to
get the C compiler to run on something more modern. The compiler is
CFront based, but I could only find the 3.0 sources (which I even got
to work), but not the needed 2.1 sources.

If you're willing to stick to C, and write custom headers and wrappers
for the C++ code, you could use any recent GCC, and Assembly is also
an option ;)

PS: one more reason to hate C++...
