 I don't really know what the correct fix is here, but sun's Linux compiler
 fails with Boost.Thread (in trunk) on Ubuntu Linux with:

 "../../../boost/thread/pthread/mutex.hpp", line 142: Error: The function
 "pthread_mutex_timedlock" must have a prototype.
 "../../../boost/thread/pthread/mutex.hpp", line 142: Error: The function
 "pthread_mutex_timedlock" must have a prototype.

 Which is pretty annoying when you're trying to test code that depends on
 Boost.Thread!

 It seems that _POSIX_TIMEOUTS is defined, but pthread.h still isn't
 defining pthread_mutex_timedlock, which is guarded by __USE_XOPEN2K which
 is *not* set :-(

 John.
