 The test libs/serialization/test/test_exported.cpp fails on these
 compilers. However, if you reorder export.hpp to be after the inclusion of
 the archive headers, it works. Changing base_object to void_cast_register
 doesn't help either (since one is syntactic sugar for the other)

 This shouldn't be the case as the header-ordering requirement is no longer
 there but it seems that the correct code is not being instantiated on this
 compiler. I cannot figure out why.

 Please see this thread for further information:
 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/172421


 If you need me to try any changes, let me know. I think this should be
 fixed for 1.35 because it essentially means that a very important part of
 the serialization lib does not work.

 If we suggest the header-ordering workaround, I would really stress that
 we understand *why* this is happening.
