Hello,

I am trying to compile boost 1.57 under Solaris for the second day now,
please help.

Here is my setup:

- Solaris Sparc 5.10
- gcc 4.9.2

What I did:

./bootstrap.sh --without-icu --prefix=/usr/local/
-n Building Boost.Build engine with toolset gcc...
./b2

This results in two errors like the following:

gcc.compile.asm
bin.v2/libs/context/build/gcc-4.9.2/release/threading-multi/asm/make_sparc64_sysv_elf_gas.o
/usr/ccs/bin/as: "/var/tmp//cc3IBrs7.s", line 13: error: invalid character

"libs/context/src/asm/make_sparc64_sysv_elf_gas.S"

Question 1: the /usr/css/bin directory is not in my PATH. How can I tell b2
to use the gnu-utils assembler?

I also get a lot of errors like this:

    "g++" -x assembler-with-cpp -O3 -finline-functions -Wno-inline -Wall
-fPIC -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1 -DBOOST_CONTEXT_DYN_LINK=1

Question 2:Why does the compiler complain, even though the
-D_XOPEN_SOURCE=600 flag is specified?

Your support is very much appreciated

Best regards
