Note that we already test on those platforms, although it looks like you 
are using a newer version of the Sun compiler. See 
http://boost.sourceforge.net/regression-logs/

I'm not sure if Boost developers want to expend much effort on those 
platforms. Perhaps after Boost 1.31.0 ships you can suggest some patches. 
Most Boost developers don't have access to those platforms, so they are 
unlikely to be able to develop patches themselves.

Also, Sun is supposed to be working on a new version of their compiler that 
will be much more standards conforming, and do much better with Boost 
code.  I have no idea when it might ship.

Thanks,
