5001	Failure to compile boost_1_45 and boost-trunk on ia64 (itanium2) with toolset intel-linux	Stefan Janecek <stejanecek@…>	Vladimir Prus	"Hi all,

I have tried to compile boost_1_45_0 using the Intel compiler on an Itanium machine, but it seems to fail with a segfault:

{{{
xxx@cn002:~/src/boost_1_45_0> ./bootstrap.sh --with-toolset=intel-linux --show-libraries --prefix=$HOME

}}}

So far, I have gathered the following information:
* I've done this on two different Itanium machines I've got access to. It fails with the same error message on both machines.
* I have used Intel compilers 11.1, 11.0, 10.1. Same error message with all of them.
* Compiling on x86_64 with the above compilers works as expected.

Next, I have checked out the boost trunk from the subversion rep. Here, it does not offer any libraries to compile:

{{{
xxx@cn002:~/src/boost-trunk> ./bootstrap.sh --with-toolset=intel-linux --show-libraries
Building Boost.Jam with toolset intel-linux... tools/build/v2/engine/src/bin.linuxia64/bjam

The following Boost libraries have portions that require a separate build
and installation step. Any library not listed here can be used by including
the headers only.

The Boost libraries requiring separate building and installation are:
xxx@cn002:~/src/boost-trunk> 
}}}

I decided to still give it a go:

{{{
xxx@cn002:~/src/boost-trunk> ./bootstrap.sh --with-toolset=intel-linux --with-libraries=iostreams,mpi,serialization
Building Boost.Jam with toolset intel-linux... tools/build/v2/engine/src/bin.linuxia64/bjam
Unicode/ICU support for Boost.Regex?... not found.
Generating Boost.Build configuration in project-config.jam...

Bootstrapping is done. To build, run:

    ./bjam
    
To adjust configuration, edit 'project-config.jam'.
Further information:

   - Command line help:
     ./bjam --help
     
   - Getting started guide: 
     http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html
     
   - Boost.Build documentation:
     http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/index.html

xxx@cn002:~/src/boost-trunk> ./bjam
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
}}}

No luck either :(

At this point, I'm running out of ideas - anything else I could try? 

Cheers,
Stefan
