The problem is, I have no idea how to do this right with boost.build short 
of adding explicit support for this in the build system.

Currently, -timplicit_local gets added by the toolset whenever a C++ 
program file is compiled. You would have to _remove_ this option from the 
compiler command line and I don't think that is possible.

Two reasons: As outlined above it's not a question about adding a specific 
command line switch but about removing one. And secondly, I was hoping that 
it would work anyway because of your usage pattern of the statics. And as 
the latest tests results show, only the variant tests are failing now, and 
this is because variant is broken with this compiler in strict_ansi mode.
