Comment (by johnmaddock):

 OK, I finally got around to doing some actual testing ;)  It turns out
 it's really easy to break std::min/max if these overloads are also
 present.  However, the patch here:
 https://github.com/boostorg/multiprecision/commit/f57bd6b31a64787425ec891bd2ceb536c9036f72

 gets your test case compiling OK as long as the

 {{{
 namespace std{
 using boost::multiprecision::min;
 using boost::multiprecision::max;
 }
 }}}

 Is also present prior to including Eigen.
