[boost] [OpenBSD] Incorrect std::numeric_limits?

Hello,

 From the test results at:

http://tinyurl.com/ezs3o

It appears that std::numeric_limits<long double> might be defined 
incorrectly on OpenBSD on x86 (for example, the 1 + epsilon != 1 test is 
failing for long double). Is there someone with access to this operating 
system who can look into this?

On FreeBSD long doubles are defined as having the same accuracy as 
doubles, so maybe that's the case for OpenBSD as well? Another 
possibility is that OpenBSD doesn't have floating point functions 
defined for long doubles - but that wouldn't explain why the epsilon 
test is failing.

thanks,

Daniel
