Right. It's not 68k that is the problem but the Amiga. There were Amiga specific versions of GCC up to 3.4.0 which most importantly generated Amiga hunk format executables but they were never "official". Anyone adapting and compiling the source for use on a 68k Amiga is going to need very good Linux skills, good understanding of the Amiga and 68k and lots of patience. On the other hand, the vbcc, vasm and vlink sources compile on my 68060 Amiga with minimal effort. There should be a new version of vbcc coming at some point but it is C only (no C++).
This development guide will help build an Amiga GCC 3.3.3 cross compiler on Linux or Windows XP. It is sucessfully tested this doc on RedHat Linux and Windows XP. Other tutorials used GCC 2.95 and usually ended in failed builds.
Even the final versions of StormC and SAS/C had C++ built-in. I think there several others.
