I'm having problems trying to build boost 1.33.1 with comeau 4.3.3 on Linux.

Am I doing something stupid? For what it's worth, I've been using boost with gcc for quite some time now with no problems, but decided to give it a try with comeau, but no luck yet.
Speaking for the serialization library - I've been unable to build the wide character version of the the archives with the como implementation of the standard library. So the Jamfile skips this library and emits the above message.
I have searched online for solutions to this, but couldn't find any solutions that work for me
You could tweak the Jamfile to not skip build of the wide char libraries and thier corresponding tests. When I do this I get some problems I'm not able to solve. If you do this and are able to solve the problems, let me know and we'll roll in the fixes. BTW, I've tested comeau 4.3.3 on windows/XP with VC 7.1 backend. However, to do this I had to comment out part of the test library to avoid a linking problem. Robert Ramey
