We now have a machine with the MIPSpro 7.41 compiler. The C++ C headers are
available and the -I option shown above has to be omitted. I checked in a
couple of very minor changes which allowed me successfully build and use the
Boost.Python library. Therefore I am thinking that it should be fairly easy to
get most of boost working. Note that the compiler uses the EDG245 front-end
which is reasonably recent and known to work very well in general.
