Link Problem with filesystem lib test program.

Hi there,

I'm trying to get the boost::filesystem library working on Sun SPARC
Solaris 7 with the Sun forte 6.2 compiler.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

$ cd boost_1_30_0/libs/filesystem/test
$ bjam -sTOOLS=sunpro -sBOOST_ROOT=/opt/boost_1.30.0

[...]

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Is my assumption correct that this again is a consequence of a failure
in Sun's forte 6 update 2 compiler?

Is there any known workaround for this?
