Comment (by Michael Haubenwallner <michael.haubenwallner@…>):

 Nope, this doesn't have anything to do with limits. It even doesn't have
 to do so much with vacpp/xlc itself except that it is the reference-
 compiler on AIX. The problem has to do with /usr/include/math.h, which is
 completely different on AIX compared to Linux.

 Since AIX 6.1, /usr/include/math.h defines math-functions as inlines,
 while they are in boost since ages.

 The question simply is: Where is the (most) right place to declare/define
 these math functions: in boost, or in /usr/include/math.h?

 Thank you!
