--- Comment #15 from Don Lewis <truckman at FreeBSD.org> ---
Deviating so significantly from upstream behavior bothers me, which got me
wondering how libe-book manages to build on linux.  Surely if it didn't build
on linux, then it would get fixed.   As an experiment, I tried compiling some
code using "long long" with g++48 -pedantic.  The compiler warns about "long
long", but it is not a fatal error.  Based on that, I think I'll try limiting
the hack to only when we are using our ancient version of gcc.  With clang it
is also a non-fatal warning.

For ports that prove troublesome, the best thing to do might be to tell them to
use a better compiler.

I'm currently working on a baseline for a local mini exp-run.  I've got 304
ports on my list of boost consumers, which requires building somewhat more than
1000 ports total.  I think I can build the full set in about 12 hours per
arch/os combo on my available hardware.  Testing the new boost version should
take somehat less than that.

While the baseline is getting built, I'll start looking at 1.59.  If we're
going to go through all this trouble ...

Once I get something that looks promising, then we can do a real exp-run.
