I am using Boost.Python all the time under Tru64 with cxx 6.5, and have been
doing so for many years. I guess there must be a difference in how we compile.
I am not using bjam but a SCons-based build system. The result of building with
the Boost CVS from earlier this morning, including the cxx commands, is here:

All our regression tests (many) passed.

I'd first experiment with the compiler options.
