[C++-sig] Error in BPL v2 build using KCC on tru64

Only a modern KCC is a modern compiler ;-)
You're using an older version, right?

You can keep using the old KCC you're working with; my contract with
Livermore requires me to support it**, so you're safe for now. However, KCC
is going away :(, so you might consider other tools for your platform. If
you're targeting tru64, I guess that makes it tru64cxx 6.5 (one of those
annoyingly modern compilers that catches every little mistake <wink>) or
GCC 3.1.
