[boost] [serialization] boost 1.35.0 / gcc 4.3.0 / 64-bit problem

Dear all,

I apologize for cross-posting (part of this was already reported on 
boost-users), but maybe this list is better suited for the problem. I 
also have some additional information from some more experimentation.

Here are the facts:

(1) We use several machines for development, all under openSuSE 10.2, 
some of them 32-, some 64-bit systems. Recently, we have installed gcc 
4.3.0. We employ several boost libraries, most notably serialization.

(2) boost 1.35.0 (RC2) compiles and installs fine on 32-bit with gcc 
4.3.0.  Serialization code works fine, as far as we use it.

(3) On the 64-bit system, however, version 1.35.0 does not compile with
gcc 4.3.0:

(4) Moreover, when compiling (on a 64-bit machine; on 32-bit this is ok) 
our application code with boost 1.34.1 and gcc 4.3.0, as soon as we
#include "boost/serialization/vector.hpp" (even without using any 
serialization functionality)

we receive error messages:
/usr/local/include/boost-1_34_1/boost/serialization/vector.hpp:126:
error: redefinition of 'struct
boost::serialization::implementation_level<std::vector<long int,
std::allocator<long int> > >'

/usr/local/include/boost-1_34_1/boost/serialization/vector.hpp:126:
error: previous definition of 'struct
boost::serialization::implementation_level<std::vector<long int,
std::allocator<long int> > >'

/usr/local/include/boost-1_34_1/boost/serialization/vector.hpp:126:
error: redefinition of 'struct

int, std::allocator<long unsigned int> > >'

error: previous definition of 'struct
boost::serialization::implementation_level<std::vector<long unsigned
int, std::allocator<long unsigned int> > >'

On the same machine the code compiles well with boost 1.33.1. Note
that 1.34.1 was compiled with an earlier gcc version.

Best regards
Bernd
