The status page shows successful compilation with gcc 3.0.1.

This is a bug that got introduced in gcc 3.0.2.  I thought I had reported
it, but can't find the gcc gnats bug id at the moment.
gcc 3.0.1 works fine as do newer CVS versions of gcc.

Consider downgrading to gcc 3.0.1 if you need Boost.Pool.
(Note that gcc 3.0.2 has an important bugfix for exception handling
on SPARC CPUs that, for me, got rid of coredumps in a commercial project.)
