If you can find it, the 11.0a version had some STL support and good template
support as well. I was not able to get the profiler working, though.

This is true. Sybase/Powersoft published Optima++ which was based
on Watcom 11.0 c++ compiler. The have stopped supporting it
officially for a couple of years.
This means that it could be difficult to find a place where
you can buy it and, most important, it will not be upgraded
to recent c++ features.

I agree!
