Comment (by Niklas Angare <li51ckf02@…>):

 QNX is a Unix-like OS so it's not that exotic. You just need to make sure
 the linker command-line contains -lsocket.

 I've created a patch that fixes the problem by linking all tests to the
 socket lib, even though only the following tests needed it:
 {{{
 bases
 exec
 exec-dynamic
 import_
 operators
 pointee
 pointer_type_id_test
 upcast
 }}}

 The fix is based the build file for the Asio tests,
 http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/trunk/libs/asio/test/Jamfile.v2.
