Problem with Boost and long double

Hello;

In some boost related code I am working on I found problems [1] thanks
to the recent patch that enabled long double in boost port.


For an explanation on why our libstdc++ doesn't support long double,
you have to refer to this email:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2009-March/028030.html

Curiously it has just been discussed in -toolchain that our
libstdc++ is misconfigured:

http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?510EE5D2.4050409

Perhaps the patch in the post helps fix the issues but for now I would
request that boost port disables again the long double support.

Thanks,

Pedro.
