bpl: status of boost_python_friend_fixes?

I  suspect that my troubles with BPL and KCC 4.0e and 4.0d may be related
to the friend problem  discussed a on the list a few weeks ago
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/message/12167).  Specifically,
I'm getting  the following  with KCC  4.0e on Linux Mandrake 8.0:

<ipc1 ~/install/boost_1_21_2/libs/python/src> KCC -G -o libpycpp.so *.o
        Recompiling extension_class.o
"../../../boost/python/detail/extension_class.hpp", line 362: error: 
          identifier "py_extension_class_converters" is undefined
      return py_extension_class_converters(boost::python::type<T>()).to_python(x);
             ^
          detected during:
            instantiation of "PyObject *boost::python::to_python(const T &)
                      [with T=boost::python::string]" at line 168 of
                      "../../../boost/python/reference.hpp"

                      T &) [with T=boost::python::string]" 

I'm not sure after reading  most  of  the messages  whether there's
a workaround for this (or if I'm on the right track).  Any advice
appreciated.
