good point. is it even possible to build a world *with* C++ support, if the
installed world *doesn't* have C++ support? is the C++ part of gcc written in
C? if that's the case it's possible.

couldn't we install clang *without* C++ support and then do the following to
build it *with* C++ support:

1) use gcc to build a bootstrap gcc *with* C++ support
2) use the bootstrap gcc to build clang

cheers.
