Indeed, in particular with Sun's toolchain. Just the list of boost-related
bugs fixed last month is revealing:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/advsearch.do?collection=PATCH&type=collections&max=50&language=en&queryKey5=121017&toDocument=yes

In general, sadly Sun is slow in getting their act together when it comes to
their development tools. For many years boost would not work at all with
Sun's compilers due to their many unavoidable bugs.

PS: To everyone but Nicolas as he already knows - parts of boost
(www.boost.org) will be required to build POV-Ray 3.7 .
