 Error is as follows:

 I am getting around it for the time being with the following patch:

 The -h fp0 flags I'm using for this build is the "most standards
 compliant/least optimizing" floating-point flag I've found for this
 compiler.  I'm also attempting to open a bug with Cray to address this
 issue, but in the meantime is there something I should be doing
 differently or is this patch at least "reasonable".

 Or is the write answer here not to attempt to provide Boost.Math to my
 users (for my 1.57 builds anyway).  FWIW, I do believe this problem was
 introduced in 1.56... I've just never built it myself.
