Clearly, the problem here is in Metrowerks' standard library, but 
Boost.Test needs a work-around. The fact that changing a Boost.Test 
header file makes xpressive's tests pass seems to prove it. I don't know 
what the work-around is, and I don't have the platform, so I can't 
submit a patch. Sorry. But it might be as simple as something like:

#if BOOST_WORKAROUND(__MWERKS__, BOOST_TESTED_AT(0x3206))
#  include </usr/include/unistd.h>
#  include </usr/include/signal.h>
#  include </usr/include/setjmp.h>
#else
#  include <unistd.h>
#  include <signal.h>
#  include <setjmp.h>
#endif

HTH,
