   Status:  new                                    |   Milestone:  To Be Determined
Component:  Building Boost                         |     Version:  Boost 1.50.0

 Machine:

 - AIX 6.1, 4-CPU PowerPC_POWER7

 Compiler:

 - IBM XL C/C++ for AIX, V11.1

 Steps to reproduce:

 - unpack Boost source tarball
 - `./bootstrap.sh --with-libraries=system`
 - `./b2`

 Observed behaviour:

 {{{
 $ ./bootstrap.sh --with-libraries=system

 -n Building Boost.Build engine with toolset vacpp...
 tools/build/v2/engine/bin.aixppc/b2
 -n Unicode/ICU support for Boost.Regex?...
 not found.
 Generating Boost.Build configuration in project-config.jam...

 Bootstrapping is done. To build, run:

     ./b2

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

    - Command line help:
      ./b2 --help

 $ ./b2

 Also tried:

 - `./b2 address-model=64` (same behaviour, with `release/address-model-64
 /threading-multi` as last output instead of `release/threading-multi`)

 Observed since:

 - boost-1.50.0. (Worked fine with boost-1.49.0.)

 Unfortunately I am not familiar enough with either AIX 6.1 nor the Boost
 building process to know what other information might be helpful for you,
 or how to get them, but am willing to be talked through additional
 debugging steps and providing relevant logs or whatnot.
