2597	Boost fails to build when long doubles not supported	smr@…	John Maddock	"Boost.Math builds a test file to check whether long double math is supported.  If it is not, the build fails with an error which is misleading because it is not an error but, rather, a successful build of all parts except the long double version of boost_math_c99 and boost_math_tr1.

This issue causes the builds to fail for Debian; c.f. http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?&pkg=boost1.37&ver=1.37.0-2&arch=mips&stamp=1229469355&file=log

Because of this, I have to patch Debian to disable building these libraries for certain platforms.  The attached patch enables this by adding a --disable-long-double flag to the build process.

There must be a way to do this automatically (?).
