I did have endian issues as well as sizeof(wchar_t) issues. I checked in a fix (revision 58262) for this. The regression test details for 'Sandia-tiger- ppc' (http://tinyurl.com/ydtff27) are not helpful. So, what revision did you run yours with.
I'm not sure. But I just reran the test and it passed, so I probably forgot to update it. The Sandia powerpc test failure is probably because the test times out, it takes 20 minutes on 1.9 GHZ G5.
Ouch! Please remember that every test has some cost to testers, and Boost has hundreds, if not thousands, or tests. 20 minutes is an eternity. As a courtesy to testers, please structure tests for reasonable run times. --Beman
