Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla at FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-office mailing
list <office at FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback:
Bug 236188: devel/boost-libs and BOOST_MATH_NO_LONG_DOUBLE_MATH_FUNCTIONS
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=236188



--- Description ---
According to the developers of QuantLib, the self-test failures blocking our
upgrade of finance/quantlib are due to Boost being built without the
BOOST_MATH_NO_LONG_DOUBLE_MATH_FUNCTIONS.

This seems to have an effect only on i386 -- and, presumably, only with clang
-- but I'm out of my depth here: https://github.com/lballabio/QuantLib/pull/597

Can we review the need for our files/patch-boost_math_tools_config.hpp (added
by Bug #199601)?
