------------------------------------------------------+---------------------
 'make install' for Boost fails on QNX 6.4.0 because bjam crashes. QNX
 6.4.0 uses gcc 4.2.4 whereas QNX 6.3.2 used gcc 3.3.5.

 The solution is to add "-Wc,-fno-strict-aliasing" for the qcc toolset in
 tools/jam/src/build.jam (line 257), just like the gcc toolset has -fno-
 strict-aliasing.

 The first crash happens because the compiler optimizes away zeroing of
 fields in file_info() in tools/jam/src/filesys.c.
