IIUC the compiler is right. The friend declaration in 
boost::algorithm::find_iterator declares 
boost::algorithm::iterator_core_access as friend. Not 
boost::iterator_core_access. IIUC there is no name lookup on unqualified 
names in friend class declarations. See core issue 138 for further 
information.

Changing the friend declaration to friend class 
::boost::iterator_core_access should fix the problem.
