I guess you didn't follow the gcc mailing list very much. The short
story is I can't get it into libiberty. I tried several months without
much success. Libiberty doesn't want a C++ demangler written in C++
and I have no interest in fixing the old one.
BTW, the new C++ demangler is 100% compatible with the old one. I have
been using it for months.
