I don't have much experience on other architectures than x86 with GCC.
So, I can't confirm this statement.

Markus,
I think it's a good idea and I'm glad you've discovered it.
I'd only give small proposal to keep files/modules structure consistent
with "big" Boost.
So, it will be possible to build gnash using the stripped version of
components or using "big" Boost installation.


./configure -> builds with supplied Boost components

or this way:

./configure --with-boost=/my/own/boost/installation


What do you think?

I think I'm not subscribed to gnash-dev. Sorry, too many lists ATM.
I'll subscribe in the October, so please forward my message to gnash if
you want.
