11868	cannot build Boost using PGI compilers	anonymous		"Trying to build actual Boost release 1.60.0 using PGI compilers (15.10-0 64-bit) we ran into two ICEs in the 'pgCC' compiler.

Asking the PGU support, we got: 
>   15.10 is the last release of pgCC/pgcpp.  
>   pgc++ will be the only PGI C++ compiler for the coming years.

Huh, but 'pgCC' is hard-coded in 'boost_1_60_0/tools/build/src/tools/pgi.jam' file (line 28):
>   local l_command = [ common.get-invocation-command pgi : pgCC : $(command) ] ;

Trying to change out 'pgCC' by 'pgc++' we got dozens of errors like this:

... well, 'pgc++' is not 'pgCC'.

Bottom line: 
- Boost cannot be build with PGI compilers;
- Boost need an update to new PGI C++ copiler (if you wish to proceed to support PGI at all).

Merry Christmas!
