Hi,

I'm trying to use boost spirit for an embedded application running on
mips32 hardware, compiled with a gcc 4.6.3 toolchain.

The toolchain is build with newlib and libstdc++ with -fno-exceptions.

When I try to include iq.hpp I get the following compiler error.

I do know that this is not the most typical setup, but I have had
other problems which was solved just by adding a define, or avoid an
include file.

Any hints will be appreciated
