As long as there's a good clean separation between parsers and code generators (yes, that's an extreme oversimplification), a C++ frontend shouldn't really impact the architecture-specific code generators. Perhaps I've oversimplified to the point of overlooking issues, but my understanding is that keeping the frontend and backend as separate as possible (something that gcc does a piss-poor job of) alleviates these issues.
