I wonder if this is really board specific.  The capability of running
C++ programs is related to the run time environment existent/loaded in the
board. Sometimes a newlib that is linked to the program and loaded there,
sometimes is part of an OS running there etc.

Would you mind elaborating a little bit more on this one?

Thanks.
