saying `the other ones are responsible' is in no way helpful. this issue has 
been dealt with on april 1st [1] by the gcc devs, a month before the release 
of 1.43. however i remember other cases, when tickets with patches were 
filed against boost, to support new compiler releases, that were not dealt 
with for quite some time.

in a real world, people will have to ship their own patched version of boost 
in order to support new compilers.
