#4748: mingw compile error causes tests to fail

     Type:  Bugs                        |      Status:  new          
Milestone:  To Be Determined            |   Component:  serialization
  Version:  Boost 1.44.0                |    Severity:  Problem      
 Keywords:  mingw                       |  
----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------
 Many mingw tests fail with this compile error:
 {{{
 boost/serialization/collection_size_type.hpp:60: error: extra ';'
 }}}

 Removing the semicolon at the end of that line fixes it. There must be a
 semicolon in the macro definition.

 One expects the compiler to accept multiple semicolons, as empty
 statements are allowed. That applies to functions (being executed), but
 seems not to be the case for declarations.
