Component:  None                 |     Version:  Boost 1.36.0
 Severity:  Problem              |    Keywords:              
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
 This is an issue that has apparently been noted before, see e.g.
   http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/176050


 What's going on is that the Intel ICC compiler on x86_64 does not
 know about the __sync_lock_test_and_set intrinsic that GCC
 defines. It may be that the reason why Peter Dimov couldn't
 reproduce the problem lies in the ability of ICC to use GCC
 header files -- I don't know. Anyway, I can for a fact confirm
 that the patch (see attached) by Peter works.
