For small targets like this, it is common to compile C++ with "-fno-rtti -fno-exceptions", as these features can have a lot of overhead and need library support, and are seldom useful on such targets. For the AVR port of gcc, C++ works with these flags. So if you are able to say "C++ works with exceptions and rtti disabled" then that would be fantastic - the final parts may be nice to get completed, but I don't think they are a priority to users. (That's my 2 øre, anyway.)
