There is a new EDG-based compiler for PA-RISC: A.03.80. For Boost 1.34
tests results with this compiler, please check out the column
"HP-UX aCC PA-RISC" at
http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/CVS-RC_1_34_0/developer/summary.html

Most of tests failures are configuration problems which will be fixed for
Boost 1.35. Some tests fail on PA-RISC because of Rogue Wave library
issues (HP-UX/ia64 and PA-RISC use the same STL), but it was too late in
the Boost 1.34 development cycle to mark these tests up for PA-RISC. It will
also be fixed for Boost 1.35.

I'm not sure if A.03.80 is already available as a production compiler
or it is still in Beta. For more information on this compiler please
send a mail to boost-help_at_hp.com.

Thanks,
  Boris
