Jens already picked up on, and fixed, one of the gcc failures (the
library supplied with 2.95.2 doesn't have ios_base). The other is a
gcc library issue again, affecting the test suite - there is no
stringstream, so the IO tests don't work. They can be hacked to
work with sstreams, which is what I did temporarily while I was
testing. Hmm, I suppose a longer-term solution may be to include
either sstream or stringstream, and typedef the one we have
available.
Is there a config flag saying whether stringstreams exist? There
isn't one in the 1.20.1 release that I could find...
I'll have to look at the intel one...

This implies that abs() isn't finding the version which has a rational
parameter, implying a Koenig lookup problem. That would probably
be related to the "if _MSVC_VER" (or is it BOOST_MSVC in your
version?) hack at the top of rational_example.cpp. There's a new
config flag which says whether the compiler supports Koenig
lookup - please change to use this and see if that helps. I can't use
it as it's not in 1.20.1 and I don't have the CVS cersion.

Doesn't this say that bad_rational() isn't copyable? But it's derived
from domain error, so that implies that domain error is *also* not
copyable.
This seems like a library/compiler bug. I can't think how I would
work around it...
Hope this helps, thanks for the test reports,
Paul.
