 Ok this is still broken (see Ticket #5928). On Solaris 10 (sparc) compile
 this...

 #include <iostream>
 #include <boost/filesystem.hpp>

 int main (void)
 {
   std::cout <<
 boost::filesystem::unique_path("/some/random/path/%%%%%%%").c_str() <<
 std::endl;
   return 0;
 }

 linking against system and filesystem

 I had compiled boost_1_55_0 from the site and built just filesystem and
 system (because program_options fails to compile with gcc 4.9.0 but thats
 a separate issue). I created the above example in stage/lib folder and
 ran..

 g++ test.cpp -I../../ -L. -lboost_filesystem -lboost_system

 Below are the results...

 bash-3.2$ locale
 LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
 LC_CTYPE=en_GB.ISO8859-1
 LC_NUMERIC=en_GB.ISO8859-1
 LC_TIME=en_GB.ISO8859-1
 LC_COLLATE=en_GB.ISO8859-1
 LC_MONETARY=en_GB.ISO8859-1
 LC_MESSAGES=C
 LC_ALL=
 -bash-3.2$ LC_ALL=en_GB.UTF-8  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./a.out

   what():  locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid

 This is utterly crippling and renders boost filesystem useless on Solaris
 10.
