I will take your word for this, but I don't understand: if you build
them inhouse, why can't you sign them?

It won't be in 1.40.0. I will endeavour to get the fix in sometime soon,
though.

How are you using boost.thread? This should only be a problem if you are
linking statically against boost.thread from a DLL. If you do this, you
need to be aware that thread-locals are thus isolated to that DLL, and
are not accessible from other DLLs, even on the same thread.
TlsFree is only called on process shut-down. If you can ensure that
on_process_exit from boost/thread/detail/tss_hooks.hpp is called when
the DLL is unloaded then you can patch libs/thread/src/win32/tss_pe.cpp
to remove the use of _pRawDllMain.
If you are linking boost.thread directly into the EXE then you can
remove this use of _pRawDllMain anyway with no averse consequences.
