All smart_ptr tests, yes. There are some that aren't run by default, 
shared_ptr_timing_test, shared_ptr_mt_test and weak_ptr_mt_test. It would be 
interesting to compare the performance of _timing_test with or without -D 
BOOST_SP_DISABLE_THREADS.

g++land is so exciting ;-) It seems that the Apple variant defines __ppc__, 
whereas the Linux/PPC version defines __powerpc__.
