building packages which use C++, e.g. menu

[Paul Slootman <paul@wau.mis.ah.nl>]

I was building a number of out-of-date packages last night. I also tried
to build menu_1.5-12, but that failed most horribly with all sorts of
C++ error messages, mostly "ambiguous operator overload" where the
possibilities were something like "(const char *, const char *) <builtin>"
and "(String &, String &)".

Is the Alpha g++ so different to the i386 version that these conflicts
happen, or am I missing something? It bugs me when something like this
simply doesn't build for me.
