Re: [boost] Problems with boost on Cray C++ release 3.6

I still have three problems with Cray C++ v. 3.6, but got some parts to 
compile. They are:
i) a problem with template instantiation - here it seems that the 
compiler might not be correctly installed on our system and I will talk 
to the Cray engineers.
ii) static assertions do not work
iii) in some cases typenames in base classes are not found

While I am still working on these three issues, I could solve the 
problem with cstdint.hpp. and have attached a context diff of the 
changes. The main issue was that short is 32 bit and int is 64 bit on 
the Cray:
