Seems like boost.python is completely broken on AIX anyway... :-(

There are two major issues, AFAICT: mpl and bpl.

Here is an excerpt of the error messages:

"boost-cvs/boost/mpl/aux_/include_preprocessed.hpp", line 27.13: 
1540-0836 (S) The #include file "boost/mpl/AUX_PREPROCESSED_HEADER" is 
not found.

...

"boost-cvs/boost/mpl/integral_c.hpp", line 29.32: 1540-0827 (S) The 
constant expression on the #if directive contains a syntax error at 
"BOOST_TESTED_AT".

...

"boost-cvs/boost/preprocessor/iteration/detail/iter/forward1.hpp", 
line 29.9: 1540-0827 (S) The constant expression on the #if directive 
contains a syntax error at "(".

Looks like the preprocessor is a real showstopper at the moment.
