I think I might be missing an include of <math.h> actually, as those symbols
have no business being in namespace std.

It's not an infinite loop: it's just that almost every single test is
failing, and there are a heck of a lot of tests! Frankly I have no idea
what's going on here, it would take some debugging to find out, but it's
suspicious to me that the tests pass on every other platform except this
one. Having said that Dinkumware libs are normally very high quality, so
.... <shrug> I guess.
If you're willing to spend the time and load this into a debugger, the thing
to do is a comparitive debug: the first failure occurs at complex_test.cpp
line 124, with x = -1, y = -0.28125, if you step into the acos in:
std::complex<T> result = std::cos(boost::math::acos(val)); then the value
returned should be {2.624, 0.5419}, and std::cos should convert it back to
{-1, -0.28125}. So the first call is to discover whether it's std::cos or
boost::acos that's at fault.
Thanks, John.
