Hi,

in order to fix this issue, https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/5752 
: "boost::call_once() is unreliable on some platforms", I would like to 
use Boost.Atomic as suggested on the ticket. As Boost.Atomic is not a 
header-only library the user would need to link with boost_atomic.

Is this an acceptable change? I'm requesting this as recently there were 
some people reactive to some changes in Boost.Thread. Would this be 
considered an compatibility issue?
If yes should the fix for the call_once issue be included if the user 
request it using conditional compilation or even go on a separated 
version of Boost.Thread?

Thanks,
Vicente
