There appears to be a related compile error, currently in the trunk:

../boost/test/impl/execution_monitor.ipp: In member function 'void 
boost::detail::system_signal_exception::report() const':
../boost/test/impl/execution_monitor.ipp:443: error: 'SIGPOLL' was not 
declared in this scope
../boost/test/impl/execution_monitor.ipp:470: error: duplicate case 
value
../boost/test/impl/execution_monitor.ipp:460: error: previously used 
here
../boost/test/impl/execution_monitor.ipp: In constructor 
'boost::detail::signal_handler::signal_handler(bool, int, bool, char*)':
../boost/test/impl/execution_monitor.ipp:627: error: 'SIGPOLL' was not 
declared in this scope

Does anyone know how to fix it?  (I'm clueless, but it looks like a 
missing #include.)
