can you compile and run a `hello world' program with this C++
compiler?

perhaps you should try the gnu compiler.

<URL:ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/>

get gcc-2.95.1 and bootstrap a new C compiler off the system C
compiler.  generate a working C++ compiler during the process.   use
the --prefix= option to put the compiler where you want/can when
installing.
