Good point.  I was thinking about what the OS itself is written in, but
I neglected the fact that you've got to have C++ to build LLVM to build
the C, BLISS, and MACRO compilers that build the OS.

... which might fix the infinities not working  on x86 that I posted
about a few days ago.  Or that could be compiler problems or various
other things.
