[pkg-boost-devel] Bug#505109: FTBFS with GCC 4.4 and breaks other apps

[Martin Michlmayr]

Package: boost1.35
Version: 1.35.0-5
User: debian-gcc at lists.debian.org
Usertags: ftbfs-gcc-4.4
Tags: fixed-upstream
Severity: important

Your package fails to build with the upcoming GCC 4.4 and makes other
packages fail to build.  Version 4.4 has not been released yet but I'm
building with a snapshot in order to find errors and give people an
advance warning.

Fortunately, according to
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36453 this has been fixed
upstream already.

You can reproduce this problem with gcc-snapshot from unstable.
