I tryed it on my DEC cxx compiler, and it's ok with these two tiny modifications:

1- change the LD command in Makefile.pre.in with

LDSHARED= cxx -shared -expect_unresolved "*"

(but I guess it's one of our local config problem here, as
the Makefile.pre.in takes it from the config).

2- change all uses of STD::cout, STD::endl, STD::ostream, etc...
with ::cout, ::endl, etc...

This means our cxx iostream lib has a global scope. This is (certainly)
temporary, but I add a STDIOSTREAM macro that makes more
detailled the use of the STD macro.

Here's the diff below with original (CXX3) and the DEC (CXX3.dec).
The host version/compiler was:

OSF1 xxx V4.0 878 alpha
DIGITAL C++ V6.1-027 on DIGITAL UNIX V4.0 (Rev. 878)
