Thank you for pointing this out. So far, our setup works fine on Windows 
and Linux using completely different toolchains. The compilation problem 
that we get doesn't seem to be related to the way we build Boost.Test at 
first glance, but feel free to tell me I am wrong.

Apparently, the compilation problem that we had is already known, even 
though our particular setup was never tested. Is the problem a general 
problem on Mac OS X 10.3, i.e. will we also run into this problem when 
compiling the latest release of Boost.Test the standard way? Or is the 
problem related to our setup in particular?

This would be important for us to know because it determines the next 
step we take to solve the problem, which would be either upgrade to a 
newer SVN version or try to build Boost.Test the standard way.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Florian
