g++ on 3b1 with COFF for ld++ and why ld++?

[David Becker]

	I am attempting to get g++-1.25 going on an AT&T 3b1 which uses the
	COFF a.out format.  A document accompanying the g++ distribution
	specifically states COFF is not supported. 
	
	ld++ and collect use a.out.h and need to be COFFized.
	Has anyone rectified this situation and taught g++ COFF?

	gcc-c++ works fine and is producing objects, only a way to link
	remains to be found.
	Has anyone gotten any version of g++ going on a 3b1?

	On a more theorectical level, why is a specialized loader necessary?
	How is a standard ld insufficient for the job?
