| Long double support has been disabled with these compiler releases |
| because calling the standard library long double math functions can |
| result in a segfault. The issue is Linux distribution and glibc version |
| specific and is Intel bug report #409291. Fully up to date releases |
| of Intel 9.1 (post version l_cc_c_9.1.046) shouldn't have this problem. |
| If you need long double support with this compiler, then comment |
| out the define of BOOST_MATH_NO_LONG_DOUBLE_MATH_FUNCTIONS at line |
| 55 of <a href="../../../../../boost/math/tools/config.hpp" target="_top">boost/math/tools/config.hpp</a>. |
