Hi,

Both oracle-intel-S2-next-cpp11 and oracle-sparc-S2-next-stlport4 
testers fail to compile common_type as it is being used in Boost.Chrono. 
This in turn affects compilation of Boost.Thread and multiple other 
library tests. The error can be seen here:

Just in case if the test results go down, I'm copying the error inline 
below. Could it be fixed?
