Milestone:  To Be Determined         |   Component:  serialization
  Version:  Boost 1.53.0             |    Severity:  Problem      
 Keywords:                           |  
-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
 The culprit is the shared_ptr helper stuff, which uses typeid, which fails
 without RTTI.

 boost::shared_ptr uses boost::detail::sp_typeinfo instead of
 std::type_info and BOOST_SP_TYPEID instead of typeid, which also work
 without RTTI.

 If there are no unintended side effects, they should probably also be used
 by boost::serialization.

 Patch attached.
