[boost] [serialization] failures of test_exported* tests with gcc 4.1 and higher

  x.cpp below reproduces failures of test_exported* tests on
  several platforms using gcc 4.1 and higher. The tests fail with:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 
'boost::archive::archive_exception'
  what():  unregistered void cast

  When compiled with macro WORKS defined, i.e. when destructor of
  the base class is removed, reproducer succeeds. Does it give any
  clue?

  Thanks,
    Boris
