Information like that ought to be included in the 3.4 release notes,
starting now, to help people updating their C++ code to use with 3.4.

Boost builds but now gets some test failures.

Qt 2.3.0 builds, but I killed moc (an executable it builds) after it
had been running for a couple of hours.  I haven't tried POOMA.

I don't know C++ well enough to track these things down and figure out
whether the failures are due to invalid code that the compiler used to
handle, or new bugs in the compiler.
