Comment (by viboes):

 Replying to [comment:5 Jim Bell <jim@…>]:
 > Added a minimal patch to libs/thread/src/win32/thread.cpp which I
 verified to work with MinGW gcc 4.8, and both boost trunk and release SVN
 branches. Using <boost/cstdint.hpp> for the typedef for uintptr_t
 maximizes confidence that it will work for WinCE as well. (And should
 WinCE fail, pushes the fix from thread to config where it belongs.)  With
 this change being only to thread.cpp, I'm changing the component from
 config back to thread.


 This code was working well on mingw 32. What has been changed in mingw 64?
 Have you tested your patch on mingw 32?
