This is a key patch for making IBM's C++ compiler (xlC) work with boost. Other than the line numbers are off for the latest boost version, it is clearly a good thing to add. Otherwise, boost cannot be compiled on powerpc machines (for example, on some of the top supercomputers in the world).

What is needed to get the contents of the patch into the next boost release?
