Seems like the main branch hasn't been updated: the 1.29.0 version
doesn't have the #if anymore. BTW, the error messages at

http://boost.sourceforge.net/regression-logs/cs-AIX-links.html

clearly show that a candidate with two parameters does exist. Is it
really an allocator conformance issue or rather a compiler bug? Does
this

 allocate(calc_num_blocks(num_bits), static_cast<const Block *>(0))

compile?
