[locale] PGI 11.3 build problems ()

[Mark Dixon <m.c.dixon@…>]

Hi,

Compilation of boost 1.53.0 with the PGI 11.3 compiler on RHEL5 fails for the following source files when using the method in the quickstart guide:

• libs/locale/src/posix/codecvt.cpp
• libs/locale/src/posix/collate.cpp
• libs/locale/src/posix/converter.cpp
• libs/locale/src/posix/numeric.cpp
• libs/locale/src/posix/posix_backend.cpp

Most of the errors appear to stem from a claim that locale_t is undefined. Errors are too long to include here, so have attached a build output to this ticket. Hope it doesn't make it too much a pain to read.

In addition, detection of icu libraries seems to fail (whereas building against GNU or Intel compilers succeeds). Note the icu/icu (lib64) lines below. I'm told this is to do with the locale component:

$ ./b2
