It's the other way around - I changed Boost.Config to set BOOST_NO_FENV_H
for Intel prior to 12.0 because it fails the test case (calls to fenv.h
functions seem to pretty much always return an error code - it's not at all
clear that fenv.h is really working for that compiler). Unfortunately this
broke Boost.Test.... but I also committed a fix for that yesterday, so
hopefully all will be back to normal soon!
Apologies for the problem, John.
