It's the other way around - I changed Boost.Config to set BOOST_NO_FENV_H 
for Intel prior to 12.0 because it fails the test case (calls to fenv.h 
functions seem to pretty much always return an error code - it's not at all 
clear that fenv.h is really working for that compiler).  Unfortunately this 
broke Boost.Test.... but I also committed a fix for that yesterday, so 
hopefully all will be back to normal soon!

Apologies for the problem, John.
