We'll need a PTHREADS expert on this one.  The pthreads-win32 
documentation, as well as Butenhof's book, define pthread_getspecific 
as:

void* pthread_getspecific(pthread_key_t key);

However, the O'Reilly book, Pthreads Programming, agrees with your 
manpage signature.  Just taking a wild guess this may be something 
that's changed during the POSIX standardization process and we may 
need a Boost.Config option to handle this.  But I don't know any of 
this for sure so can't solve this issue with out help from others.
