I'm a little bit concerned about having this is the Boost.Function
test suite.  It isn't really a Boost.Function-specific problem at all;
the compiler bug doesn't affect the usability of Boost.Function, and
it interacts with *any* code which does function pointer/reference
assignment.  Tests like this one, which really just look for specific
compiler bugs, belong in the config library test suite.  We should
also have a corresponding config macro.
