I see in macos.hpp:

// If __MACH__, we're using the BSD standard C library, not the MSL:
#if __MACH__

That is a false statement.  It was true with Pro 7, but not Pro 8.  Try 
this instead:

#include <utility>
// ifdef _MSL_USING_GCC_C, we're using the BSD standard C library, not 
the MSL:
#ifdef _MSL_USING_GCC_C
