Hi Everyone,

I cannot build Boost 1.55 on ppc64le because of the following error:

"ABI version 1 is not compatible with ABI version 2 output"

Could please someone advice my on overcoming the issue?

My system:
[cid:image002.jpg_at_01D32B16.11C42B20]

My compiler:
[cid:image003.png_at_01D32B15.2B5FC2C0]

Output from "./b2 install":
[cid:image005.png_at_01D32B15.AC1E4990]

GCC command that failed:
"g++"    -o "bin.v2/libs/context/build/gcc-4.8/release/threading-multi/libboost_context.so.1.55.0" -Wl,-h -Wl,libboost_context.so.1.55.0 -shared -Wl,--start-group "bin.v2/libs/context/build/gcc-4.8/release/threading-multi/asm/make_ppc64_sysv_elf_gas.o" "bin.v2/libs/context/build/gcc-4.8/release/threading-multi/asm/jump_ppc64_sysv_elf_gas.o"  -Wl,-Bstatic  -Wl,-Bdynamic -lrt -Wl,--end-group -pthread

GCC output generated with '-v' (you can see that actually "collect2" tool fails):
Using built-in specs.
