Hi,

I have created a ticket so that I don't forget again
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/6442.

The ticket as attached two patches to apply to the boost/system and
libs/system directories.

I have done some test on a windows machine (Boost.System, Chrono, Thread). I
will continue tomorrow with other libraries and platforms.

Best,
Vicente
