Comment (by Ivan A. Melnikov <iv@…>):

 Thank you for your answer and your work on this issue.

 Replying to [comment:2 viboes]:
 > BTW, do you want to remove the dependency on Boost.System or the need to
 link with?

 To me, a clear statement that I have to link with Boost.System (or do
 whatever that library requires) to work with Boost.Thread is enough.

 Also, BOOST_THREAD_DONT_USE_SYSTEM, if implemented, would be a switch that
 changes whole library ABI (exception types), which is scaring a bit.
