[boost] type_with_alignment and is_pod

From: David Abrahams (dave_at_[hidden])

The following test is failing for me:

====== BEGIN OUTPUT ====== 
Platform: Cygwin
Compiler: GNU C++ version 2.95.3-10 (cygwin special)
STL     : SGI standard library
Boost   : 1.31.0
Running 1 test case...
c
../../../libs/type_traits/test/type_with_alignment_test.cpp(151): error in "type_with_alignment": test ::tt::is_pod< ::tt::type_with_alignment< ::tt::alignment_of<long double>::value>::type >::value failed

Test suite "Type Traits" failed with:
35 assertions out of 36 passed
 1 assertion out of 36 failed

  Test case "type_with_alignment" failed with:
  35 assertions out of 36 passed
   1 assertion out of 36 failed
====== END OUTPUT ======  

My question:  what gives us the right to expect that is_pod will
return true in this case, since is_pod only works with compiler
support?

Thanks,
