I already reported these failures to the list two weeks ago so that
anybody interested could take a look. There were no answer so the
library has been marked as unusable with these compilers in the
status/explicit-failures-markup.xml. It doesn't appear in your
regression logs; but in Metacomm's summaries it appears clearly.

I don't intend to fix them. The library doesn't use any complex C++
construction (even Borland 5.5 is able to compile it), I'm not fond of
trying to workaround any strange bug a compiler may have.
