Well, in that case, to get back to your original question - 
sp_counted_base_solaris.hpp should work, as far as I know; the only reason 
for not using it is that we've been unable to come up with the proper 
preprocessor code for including it. There are multithreaded tests in 
libs/smart_ptr/test - shared_ptr_mt_test, weak_ptr_mt_test - that you can 
run (in addition to the rest) as a sanity check.
