Milestone:  To Be Determined       |   Component:  thread     
  Version:  Boost 1.44.0           |    Severity:  Showstopper
 Keywords:                         |  
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
 OS:[[BR]]
 Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit)

 Compiler:[[BR]]
 MinGW-w64
 {{{
 > g++ --version[[BR]]
 g++ (GCC) 4.5.2 20101015 (prerelease)
 }}}

 Command line:
 {{{
 bjam.exe toolset=gcc stage --build-type=complete --with-thread
 >thread.log.txt
 }}}

 (I have used bootstrap.bat to build a native version of bjam.exe.)

 Output: please see attached thread.log.txt.

 To summarise, boost_thread seems to be the only binary Boost library which
 won't build in my MinGW-w64 build environment. Running without --with-
 thread results in 250-odd libboost*.a files in my stage/lib directory (as
 expected) but without boost_thread.

 Please see also bug 4804. This is similar but not quite the same bug. His
 bug occurred while /linking against/ boost_thread; mine occurs while
 /building/ boost_thread.

 Thanks for reading.
