--------------------------------------------+----------------------
 I writing code for the platform where 'long' is 40-bits wide (Texas
 Instruments TMS3200C67x, COFF). Whenever boost/integer.hpp is included
 there's a clash of definitions for 'long' and 'long long'. Even though
 'long' is 40-bit wide and ULONG_MAX=1099511627775U, the sizeof(long)
 equals 8. This leads to following errors:

 line 103: error #249: class "boost::detail::exact_signed_base_helper<64>"
 has already been defined
 line 104: error #249: class
 "boost::detail::exact_unsigned_base_helper<64>" has already been defined

 This, for instance, prevents from including boost/function.hpp
