Reproduced on Linux with Sun Studio 12.1.

Unfortunately there are Boost.Filesystem failures as well as an internal 
compiler error:

sun.compile.c++ 
/home/john/bin/boost/bin.v2/tools/bcp/sun-12.1/release/link-static/stdlib-sun-stlport/copy_path.o
 >> Assertion:  unexpected or unrecognized operator in err_operator 
(../lnk/tempactual.cc, line 384)
    while processing

Can you tell me which files were missing (or at least what the errors were)?

Using a gcc built bcp to copy boost/bimap.hpp I see the same Sun Studio 
error with both Trunk and the bcp'ed copy:

"../trunk/boost/multi_index/indexed_by.hpp", line 56: Error: Type name 
expected instead of "BOOST_PP_ENUM_1".
"../trunk/boost/multi_index/indexed_by.hpp", line 58: Error:  Expected 
"class" or "typename" before "BOOST_MULTI_INDEX_INDEXED_BY_TEMPLATE_PARM" .
"../trunk/boost/multi_index/indexed_by.hpp", line 58: Error: Type name 
expected instead of "T".
3 Error(s) detected.
