It is not.

I've built libg++2.8 and libg++2.8-dev packages for use with egcs's g++.
Those packages are currently still in the Incoming directory, so you'll have
to fetch them from a mirror of Incoming (see
http://www.debian.org/devel/incoming_mirrors.html for a list) for now.
Please be aware that libstdc++ contains a string class that conforms to the
recently accepted C++ standard, and that libg++ will no longer be supported
by the FSF. You might want to consider migrating your code to the libstdc++
string class. (Unfortunately, the C++ standard does not cover a class for
regular expression handling).
