Comment (by leutloff@…):

 > Why are you explicitly specifying it?

 std::locale("") throws an exception on the old system (libstdc++6, 4.3.2).
 Therefore I must ensure that locale is not instantiated. Defining
 BOOST_NO_STD_LOCALE avoided the exception for some of the boost libraries
 I am using (I suppose it was thread and regex). I have read that defining
 BOOST_NO_STD_LOCALE is the correct way to avoid the std::locale
 instantiation. But I can not find the documents for reference at the
 moment 8-(
