Comment (by Maik Beckmann <Beckmann.Maik_at_[hidden]>):

 I found the origin of the problem.

 This piece of code
 {{{
 #if defined(BOOST_NO_INT64_T) \
     || (ULONG_MAX != 0xffffffff && ULONG_MAX == 18446744073709551615u) //
 2**64 - 1
 #   define BOOST_NO_INTRINSIC_INT64_T
 #endif
 }}}
 doesn't work as expected, since ULONG_MAX is not defined at this place
 when g++-4.3.x is used.

 The code should check if ULONG_MAX is available before using it.

 The fact that ULONG_MAX is not defined is caused by the include file
 cleanup made for GCC-4.3.
 To bring ULONG_MAX back, just add
 {{{
 #include <climits>
 }}}
 to the list of include files.

 A patch which does the suggestions above, and thus fixes the build with
 g++-4.3.x, is attached.

 Best,
