....but the workaround of using the library from the beta14 version at least
got basic iostream stuff working.  

Running under NT 4.0 on x86 arch, the moment I added any call that linked
in standard libraries (e.g. iostream) my executable would fail with a
dialog saying "not a valid Windows NT executable".

(forgive me if this is well-known at this point, I'm new to the list)

>From the beta16 release notes page:

C++ doesn't work

Yes, g++ can't find iostream.h out of the box. This is because of path
searching problems. (It doesn't look in the right place relative to
GCC_EXEC_PREFIX). In addition, people have reported that libstdc++.a
appears to be disfunctional. The workaround appears to be to use the one
from the beta14 distribution. *sigh*
