137	build bjam fails on SGI; here is fix	nobody	Ralf W. Grosse-Kunstleve	"{{{
On SGI w/ Irix 6.5.13 w/ MipsPro CC 7.3.1, the build of
bjam fails on file tools/build/jam_src/newstr.c line 79
(the line that has offsetof): on SGI, this is a macro
that has two definitions; the default is to use a macro
def that requires the data member to be a compile time
const, so compile stops at that file. The fix consisted
in adding the two following lines just under the
#include <stddef.h>:

#undef offsetof
#define offsetof(s, m)  (size_t)(&(((s *)0)->m))

to override the default define of offsetof with the
second definition copied there verbatim. With this fix,
the rest of the build succeeded, but for bjam and for
building the boost libraries per se.  I have no idea
how solid the above offsetof implementation is. 

Best,
Oliver
