Hi, We got access to a brand-new HP Itanium2 machine. Compiling with the pre-installed gcc 2.96 seems to go fine, but I had to patch boost/detail/limits.hpp. See below. I am just guessing that BOOST_BIG_ENDIAN is correct for the Itanium2. Does anybody here know if this is correct? Is there a quick-and-easy way to find out for sure? Finally, if my experiments are successful it would be very useful to include this tiny patch in 1.30.0. Ralf
