In terms of compiler status, if there really is an issue between debug and release (usually bad compiler optimisations) shouldn't we: a) clearly note in the test report we're in debug or release build (can also be discovered by looking at the build directory name)
b) Actually test a compiler using a reasonable set of optimisations since we're trying to report if a compiler can use Boost in actual builds, not in a no optimisation alternative.
I hadn't realized you were running a release built. It is very important to do (for many reasons), but I think we should add "-release" to the end of the toolset name to indicate what we're doing. Then we can more immediately see what problems are caused by compiler optimizations. Doug
