As you know: It is easy to suggest a solution if you know nothing about 
the problem.

And I definitely do not know  enough about spirit.
To be precise: I have no idea how the *.ipp is getting into play.
So please understand that I am only showing a way:

Say you have:

void foo() {
    static boost::thread_specific_ptr<mytype> p;
    p->myval;
}

I suggest instead to have something along the lines:

namespace { // to keep things private as possible
    boost::thread_specific_ptr<mytype> foo_p;
};
void foo() {
    foo_p->myval;
}

Since I expect, that it will be not of much difference if you put the
tss into anonymous namespace this should force the ctor beeing
called once before main. The point is that thread_specific_ptr
needs to be a global object.

Does this help?
