Hi,
I am attempting to build Boost 1.55.0 with Intel compiler 14.0.1, using 
the Standard C++ Library provided by GCC 4.8.1

I am having a lot of errors with "fenv".

Here is a subset of those errors, with one particular object that is 
being built by the build script. The offending command line is
"icpc" -c -xc++ -w1 -inline-level=2 -O3 -ip -fPIC -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1 
-DBOOST_DATE_TIME_DYN_LINK=1 -DBOOST_FILESYSTEM_DYN_LINK=1 
-DBOOST_LOG_BUILDING_THE_LIB=1 -DBOOST_LOG_DLL -DBOOST_LOG_NO_THREADS 
-DBOOST_LOG_USE_AVX2 -DBOOST_LOG_USE_NATIVE_SYSLOG -DBOOST_LOG_USE_SSSE3 
-DBOOST_LOG_WITHOUT_EVENT_LOG -DBOOST_SPIRIT_USE_PHOENIX_V3=1 
-DBOOST_SYSTEM_DYN_LINK=1 -DBOOST_THREAD_DONT_USE_CHRONO=1 
-DDATE_TIME_INLINE -DNDEBUG -I"."   -c -o 
"bin.v2/libs/log/build/intel-linux/release/log-api-unix/named_scope_format_parser.o" 
"libs/log/src/named_scope_format_parser.cpp"

Errors are such as :
In file included from ./boost/math/tools/promotion.hpp(26),

./boost/math/tools/config.hpp(301): error: identifier "FE_INVALID" is 
undefined
            fegetexceptflag(&m_flags, FE_ALL_EXCEPT);

I have the following set
export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=/software6/compilers/gcc/4.8.1/include/c++/4.8.1/

if I unset CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH, this specific object compiles fine (with 
warnings, but no error).

Does anyone have an idea of weither this is a bug with Intel compiler or 
with Boost ?

Best regards,
