Yes. For GCC 4.8, we should move to:

That would mean you can start to use C++ in the compiler code although, AFAIK,
we are still waiting for the long-promised C++ Coding Standard. That seems
like putting the car before the horses to me.
I don't think so. By simply causing stage 1 to be compilable with a C++
compiler, we are making the transition easier. This is orthogonal to
the porting effort.
The proposed coding guidelines have been published and will evolve
(http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/CppConventions). No point waiting to settle a
set of rules that will naturally change over time, as we start using it.
