Boost 1.32.0: Compiler erros for msvc-stlport toolset

[meroth]

I try to build boost libraries v1.32.0 on VC++ 6.0 using 
toolset msvc-stlport. INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR when 
trying to build greg_month.obj in boost_date_time.dll. 
Obviously more errors after that (see attached file for 
complete output of command line session).

Hi meroth -

I'm afraid I'm not going to be of much help on this one. 
Since you won't get support from MS on the compiler, the
only thing I know to do is by trial and error comment things
out and see if you can find the offending code.  Long ago we
had to do this with date_parsing.hpp becasue of some
perfectly reasonable code that makes VC6 ICE (search for
'internal' in boost/date_time/date_parsing.hpp).

From the regression tests I'm pretty confident that
date-time will work with VC6 and the MS/Dinkumware std
library.  So I'm thinking it is something about combining
with STLPORT -- but that really doesn't help much.

Sorry....I know that's not too helpful.

This patch solves the problem for me.

I'm going to close this old support request since the
submitter has found a workaround and date-time no longer
provides vc6 support in 1.33 and beyond.
