Prepared, built and uploaded for Debian on Feb 9 based on my i386. Builds are
fine for 

     alpha amd64 armel hurd-i386 ia64 kfreebsd-amd64 kfreebsd-i386
     mips mipsel powerpc s390 sparc

but failed on hppa.  Which, I have to admit, it already did for alphas 1 and
2 and I had overlooked that. [ armel also failed but is now fine. ]

For hppa, I can replicate the failure on one of our developer-accessible hppa
machines: 

(sid)edd@paer:~/quantlib-1.0.0~20100209$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`/ql/.libs make benchmark
make -C test-suite benchmark
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/edd/quantlib-1.0.0~20100209/test-suite'
BOOST_TEST_LOG_LEVEL=message ./quantlib-benchmark
*** glibc detected *** /home/edd/quantlib-1.0.0~20100209/test-suite/.libs/lt-quantlib-benchmark: free(): invalid pointer: 0x003324a8 ***
^Cmake[1]: *** wait: No child processes.  Stop.
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make[1]: *** wait: No child processes.  Stop.
make: *** [benchmark] Error 2

(sid)edd@paer:~/quantlib-1.0.0~20100209$

As this happens in the somewhat optional quantlib-benchmark that I run on top
of 'make check', I will for now exclude this step from the builds.  

In case anybody would like to give me a hand debugging this (maybe a
boost-test interaction ?) I'd be game, but I might need a hand.  The hppa
folks are not aware of any issues with libc so there could of course be a
real bug lurking somewhere.
