Sorry that was what I added to find the problem originally, and forgot 
to remove when I realized what was going on and sent the e-mail. I 
apologize for the confusion this caused. The real line is:

>> && !BOOST_WORKAROUND(__EDG_VERSION__, <= 238)

This is line 29 of boost/type_traits/is_base_and_derived.hpp

The version just after that #if is the one that does not compile with 
KCC 4.0 . I interpreted this in the manner that this non-workaround 
version does not work, and that we need the workaround version after 
the #else . Do I see this incorrectly?
