Compiling GPU/CUDA R packages linked to BH package fails due to bug in Boost 1.60 #33

Linking against the BH package installed from CRAN for building GPU/CUDA R packages fails with the following error: /usr/lib64/R/library/BH/include/boost/config/suffix.hpp(510): error: identifier "__float128" is undefined

This is due to a bug in current version of Boost (1.60) used in BH package in CRAN. https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/11852

Can the current version of BH in CRAN based on Boost 1.60 be patched or bumped to the next version?

I am working on it (see the master branch) but it has other issue -- abort() gets exposed. No ETA yet,

BH 1.62.0-1 is now on CRAN. I assume that fixes your issue.
