Comment (by Lars Viklund <zao@…>):

 `boost/config/compiler/pgi.hpp` defines `BOOST_HAS_PTHREADS` but not
 `BOOST_HAS_THREADS`, resulting in failure in the `requires_threads.hpp`
 header mentioned in the report.

 As far as I can tell, there's no particular compiler flag needed to enable
 threading in current PGI versions.
 Simply hacking in a
 {{{#!cpp
 #define BOOST_HAS_THREADS
 }}}
 in the pgi.hpp header seems to have done the trick for threading on my
 tested configuration (11.8).
