The problem is due to an internal typedef in the is_convertible implementation
called "binder", which clashes with your "binder" in libs\thread\testutil.inl.
The "binder" in is_convertible was introduced about two months ago,
hence the regression.
I don't know the exact circumstances where this compiler bug shows, but I
know I've been bitten by it in the past. Simply renaming your binder to
anything else (like in the attached patch) solves the problem.
