*These test results appear to pre-date line 69 below:

     62 // BOOST_FILESYSTEM_STATUS_CACHE enables status_flags cache in
     63 // dir_itr_increment. The config tests are placed here because some
of the
     64 // macros being tested come from dirent.h.
     65 //
     66 // TODO: "|| defined(__APPLE__)" compiles, but at runtime d_type is
alwasy 0. Why?
     67 // TODO: find out what macros enable dirent::d_type on various
operating systems.
     68 # if !defined(__CYGWIN__) && !defined(__osf__) \
     69 && !(defined(__sun) && defined(__GLIBCXX__)) \
     70 && (defined(BOOST_WINDOWS_API) \
     71 || defined(__USE_BSD) || defined(_DIRENT_HAVE_D_TYPE) \
     72 )
     73 # define BOOST_FILESYSTEM_STATUS_CACHE
     74 # endif

So I expect Filesystem will compile properly on my Monday test run.

However I think the macro test should just be for defined(__sun), and not
both __sun && __GLIBCXX__.

The lack of d_type in dirent is a C library issue, not a C++ library issue
and as would affect any compiler on Solaris (e.g. SunPRO CC would hit this
too).
