[boost] [test] BOOST_AUTO_TEST for gcc broken on trunk

Hi !

The latest changes to Boost.Test broke gcc (at least for me)

running the Boost.Test testsuite _all_ tests using BOOST_AUTO_TEST fail with

-- snip --
terminate called after throwing an instance 
of '__gnu_cxx::recursive_init_error'
  what():  std::exception
--snap--

I've attached the output of one test run and the corresponding stack trace.

I've traced this down to 
unit_test_suite_impl.hpp, line 287.
This is:

    static auto_tc_exp_fail*& instance() 
    {
 ->>  static auto_tc_exp_fail     inst; 
        static auto_tc_exp_fail*    inst_ptr = &inst; 

        return inst_ptr;
    }

It seems that gcc does something different than msvc...

Ah, yes, gcc -v yields:

Using built-in specs.

Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (SUSE Linux)

Any ideas on how to solve this ?

Yours,

Jürgen
