I'd love to, but in the development environment I've got, compiling boost 1.32 for S390 takes about 24 hours!
Could you comment on that, please? Is the machine and/or compiler slow?
Are Boost libraries doing something that causes particularly slow compiles?
We don't have a S390 machine in house, so our builds are done using hercules, which is a S390 emulator.
Ah! An emulator makes the 24 hour builds much more understandable. Thanks for sending in patches for this platform. Every additional platform Boost code runs on is a win for programmers using that platform, and improves general confidence in the portability of Boost code. --Beman
