Comment (by Jim Bell <jim@…>):

 One problem is that boost doesn't have a reliable mingw64 regression test
 for trunk and release. Mine's experimental, trunk-only, and doesn't get
 run often (to say the least). So the maintainer probably isn't going to
 take a chance on it.

 Anyone want to run trunk and release regressions until this change gets
 shepherded through trunk and release branches? If so, we can at least try
 to get the maintainer's attention: I'll send him a polite e-mail about it.
 (No guarantee it'll get fixed even then.)

 Until then, look at the attached patches and patch your distribution. Hate
 to say it, but that's the expedient fix.
