[Boost-users] Boost.Filesystem 1.36.0: Define BOOST_FILESYSTEM_NO_DEPRECATED no longer works

#include <boost/filesystem/convenience.hpp>
int main(void) { return 0; }

When compiling the above code with gcc 4.1 and define BOOST_FILESYSTEM_NO_DEPRECATED I obtain these error messages:

boost/filesystem/convenience.hpp: In function 'std::string boost::filesystem::extension(const boost::filesystem::path&)':
boost/filesystem/convenience.hpp:98: error: expected primary-expression before '>' token

It works, when compiled without BOOST_FILESYSTEM_NO_DEPRECATED. The problem seems to be a new #ifndef in convenience.hpp that did not exist in 1.35.0.
