Actually, on SunCC, it doesn't -- see lines 19-24 in 
"boost/type_trais/detail/bool_trait_def.hpp":

#if defined(__SUNPRO_CC)
#   define BOOST_TT_AUX_BOOL_TRAIT_VALUE_DECL(C) \
    typedef BOOST_MPL_AUX_ADL_BARRIER_NAMESPACE::bool_< C > type; \
    enum { value = type::value }; \
    /**/
#   define BOOST_TT_AUX_BOOL_C_BASE(C)

I'd say it's a bug. Would you mind applying the attached patch to 
the aformentioned header and reporting back whether it fixes the 
problem or not?
