 Hi all,

 I have tried to compile boost_1_45_0 using the Intel compiler on an
 Itanium machine, but it seems to fail with a segfault:

 {{{

 }}}

 So far, I have gathered the following information:
 * I've done this on two different Itanium machines I've got access to. It
 fails with the same error message on both machines.
 * I have used Intel compilers 11.1, 11.0, 10.1. Same error message with
 all of them.
 * Compiling on x86_64 with the above compilers works as expected.

 Next, I have checked out the boost trunk from the subversion rep. Here, it
 does not offer any libraries to compile:

 {{{
 xxx_at_cn002:~/src/boost-trunk> ./bootstrap.sh --with-toolset=intel-linux
 --show-libraries
 Building Boost.Jam with toolset intel-linux...
 tools/build/v2/engine/src/bin.linuxia64/bjam

 The following Boost libraries have portions that require a separate build
 and installation step. Any library not listed here can be used by
 including
 the headers only.

 The Boost libraries requiring separate building and installation are:
 xxx_at_cn002:~/src/boost-trunk>
 }}}

 I decided to still give it a go:

 {{{
 xxx_at_cn002:~/src/boost-trunk> ./bootstrap.sh --with-toolset=intel-linux
 --with-libraries=iostreams,mpi,serialization
 Building Boost.Jam with toolset intel-linux...
 tools/build/v2/engine/src/bin.linuxia64/bjam
 Unicode/ICU support for Boost.Regex?... not found.
 Generating Boost.Build configuration in project-config.jam...

 Bootstrapping is done. To build, run:

     ./bjam

 To adjust configuration, edit 'project-config.jam'.
 Further information:

    - Command line help:
      ./bjam --help

    - Getting started guide:
      http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html


    - Boost.Build documentation:
      http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/index.html


 xxx_at_cn002:~/src/boost-trunk> ./bjam
 Segmentation fault (core dumped)
 }}}

 No luck either :(

 At this point, I'm running out of ideas - anything else I could try?

 Cheers,
 Stefan
