Boost.System does not compile on Cuda

[Jeremiah Willcock]

The regression test all_planar_input_files_test for BGL on Cuda fails due to a build problem in Boost.System; several of Boost.System's own regression tests fail there as well. The error is:

"/usr/local/cuda/2.2/cuda/bin/nvcc" -o "/tmp/kbelco/boost/results/boost/bin.v2/libs/system/build/cuda-2.2/debug/libboost_system.so.1.43.0" -shared "/tmp/kbelco/boost/results/boost/bin.v2/libs/system/build/cuda-2.2/debug/error_code.o" -g

Is this still failing? If so, I'm going to need more information.

Closing because of lack of sufficient information to fix.
