[boost] [Serialization] test_exported_*_archive failures

On trunk, revision 43795. 

Does anyone know why these are failing? These are the only tests failing 
on my machine (g++ 4.1.3 on 32-bit Linux). Additionally test_*_dll don't 
seem to be running either... Anyway, the error I see is:

../libs/serialization/test/test_tools.hpp(182): unregistered void cast in 
function 'int main(int, char**)'

>From a quick inspection, it appears that the cast between base and 
derived never gets registered.

I'm actually unsure as to how the void cast can get registered *before* 
BOOST_SERIALIZATION_BASE_OBJECT_NVP(Base) gets executed and therefore, 
I'm not sure how these tests are passing anywhere else.

Where/when is the Base<->Derived cast supposed to be registered in 
test_exported.cpp? I can only see it being registered when serialize is 
called for the first time on the polymorphic_derived[12].
