Around linux 0.99 pl10 or 12, Linus wanted to compile the kernel using C++ compiler. I do not remember exactly the purpose. He has discovered many bugs in g++ and many slowness that were "impossible" to solve because of the existence of exceptions handling. g++ developpers were also not very cooperative.
