--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 I've been running the Boost Math tests on AIX and nearly all of them fail
 with a floating point error.

 For example, from test_bessel_i, I get:

 boost/math/tools/test.hpp(213): error in "test_main_caller( argc, argv )":
 Unexpected exception.
 CAUTION: Gross error found at entry 2.
 Found: 0 Expected 2.27959 Error: 1.93926e+38
 0

 boost/math/tools/test.hpp(242): error in "test_main_caller( argc, argv )":
 Gross error
 0, 4, 11.301922

 ....

 Are there any special instructions for using the library on AIX? I
 couldn't see any in the Jamfile. The version of GCC here is 4.3.4
