Easy - the same way you do for cross compilation. Basically just:
export CC=g++ --some-magic-long-option-i-dont-remember; make
And then the normal compilation is not just generating *.o files, but
files with dumped parser trees as well. Hell It's even documented there!

No - becouse we basically write C++ compatible C code but in fact the
compiler is allowed to have much tighter assumptions about the type
system under C++ then it is under C, so it has *MORE* valuable data
at hand...

Basically I will just guess: The next maybe non free version of
source navigator will use the mechanism I have just described above.
So maybe there is already someone at RedHat doing exactly this work
already ;-).
