It won't: g++ doesn't ever construct C source from C++ code, so you won't
be able to keep it either. (As an aside: -save-temps really is a good tool
for solving difficult problems sometimes, esp. when the preprocessor does
something unexpected). If you *really* want C built from C++, Magnus,
you'll have to use cfront (already mentioned here). A better idea might
be to build gcc/g++ as a cross-compiler for your embedded system, but 
that could be *much* work for you.

Hope this helps
