I'm very surprised that this is required for VA C++.

VisualAge C++ is the only compiler I know that actually
requires out-of-line definitions of "static const" data
members, even though probably initialized in-class.
This has detected bugs in boost previously.  Please
remove the config flag again in your code base on a
temporary basis, and send me privately the errors the
compiler gives you so that we can fix the relevant
libraries.
