I have also found this problem (in the process of updating the documentation for
Boost.Integer which has had the GCD LCM code moved from Boost.Math to
Boost.Integer).

There is also a namespace change from boost::math to boost::integer (subject to
confirmation).

I think you may also find that including boost/math_fwd.hpp 'cures' this
temporarily, but your fix also looks fine to me.

This should  be resolved in develop soon and for the next release.
