Hi,

Currently, a serialization test for Boost.MultiIndex is failing for XL 
C/C++ at
IBM_Canada_Ltd regression runner:

Compile [2009-03-29 15:21:08 UTC]: fail

    xlC -c   -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1 -qcpluscmt -qNOOPTimize

"/nfs/sparky/home/montana/boost_NEW/boost-CVS/101.aix/results/boost/bin.v2/libs/
  
multi_index/test/test_serialization.test/vacpp/debug/test_serialization1.o" 
"../libs/
  multi_index/test/test_serialization1.cpp"

[...]
"../boost/archive/detail/oserializer.hpp", line 162.52: 1540-0063 (S) 
The text "__attribute__" is unexpected.

(see http://tinyurl.com/ce66ny )

The problem lies in boost/serialization/force_include.hpp, which,
for reasons unbeknownst to me, defines BOOST_USED as the
compiler-specific qualifier __attribute__ ((used)). Looking at the
code for force_include.hpp (http://tinyurl.com/cpk7ux ) seems
like this definition of BOOST_USED can only take place if
either __GNUC__ or __INTEL_COMPILER is defined, which
does not seem to be the case here.

Any clues? Thank you in advance,
