[boost] RC_1_30_0 compile error with SGI MIPSpro Compilers

I just grabbed the latest code from the RC_1_30_0 branch, and I got a 
compile failure when building the Boost.Filesystem library with the 
MIPSpro Compilers (7.3.1.3m):

mipspro-C++-action 
../../../libs/filesystem/build/bin/libfs.a/mipspro/debug/exception.o
cc-1108 CC: ERROR File = 
/mnt/vracs001/home9/users/patrick/src/Boost/boost-1.30.0-cvs/boost/type_traits/is_base_and_derived.hpp, 
Line = 106
   The indicated expression must have pointer-to-function type.

       BOOST_STATIC_CONSTANT(bool, value =
       ^

         "../src/exception.cpp"

...failed mipspro-C++-action 
../../../libs/filesystem/build/bin/libfs.a/mipspro/debug/exception.o...

Is there a recommended procedure I can follow for tracking this down and 
submitting a patch?  For example, I was considering running the 
regression tests for the MIPSpro Compilers.  Would that be helpful, or is 
someone on the Boost team on top of this already?
