 Resolution:
 Suggest applying this patch and keeping it until updating to boost-1.38.
 
 Analysis:
 The root cause of the issue is boost matching endianess using method
 of GNU libc, which is not compatible with the way BSDs define
 endianess. They've fixed this in 1.38 by applying a patch from NetBSD.
 See https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/1922 for details.
 
 Future directions:
 The fix applied in 1.38 is to match against CPU architecture if
 matching using GNU method fails. This may re-introduce bugs for
 platforms, not specifically listed in boost header file. Suggest
 proposing the patch, attached to this issue, for permanent inclusion
 into boost libraries.
