Re: [boost] problems with boost exception in trunk?

here is the one for Comeau

The comeau pre-linker complains when building wserialization.lib
(which depends up serialization.lib) about multiply defined symbols.

here is the one for Intel

and http://tinyurl.com/6zxm77

Of course I don't know this this is the same thing as the message
is not informatiive.  I'm just speculating that the usage of the
term "symbol count" might suggest a similar problem when
the intel code tries to link.

Thanks for looking into this.
