Nope, I was talking about the repositories.

Okay, we're on cmake here. I really should take a look at scons. I mean,
its python.

This sounds a bit like one should add that testcase to the regression
testsuite in boost to get a gcc bug fixed, eh? ;).

Sure, you're right. Sorry, it was my fault in reading clang's error
messages. It chockes on the c++ stl bits, not on boost, but they're
included from boost, so the first thing I read was “boost”.
Well, I cannot tell if it would choke on boost too, but I guess your
testing setup is more sane than mine (at least it's not holding a spatula).
