There is also

#if (__HP_aCC <= 33300) || !defined(BOOST_STRICT_CONFIG)
// member templates are sufficiently broken that we disable them for now
#    define BOOST_NO_MEMBER_TEMPLATES
#    define BOOST_NO_DEPENDENT_NESTED_DERIVATIONS
#    define BOOST_NO_DEPENDENT_TYPES_IN_TEMPLATE_VALUE_PARAMETERS
#endif

where the !defined(BOOST_STRICT_CONFIG) causes BOOST_NO_MEMBER_TEMPLATES to
be defined unconditionally AFAICS. This causes a number of shared_ptr tests
to fail as shared_ptr.hpp uses a simplified version when no member templates
are available.
