I would say yes, mark as unusable, unless someone with access to Intel 7.1 
on Linux wants to fool with it.

I think what is happening is that large file system support is somehow 
faulty for this configuration. My guess is that this is an Intel rather 
than Boost problem. Note that it works fine for later Intel versions.
