Yes, but not the one suggested. That constructor is private for a
reason, and does not actually exist. It is a bug in the compiler that
requires it to exist, since it should not be chosen for copying a
temporary. If the optimization setting is low enough that the compiler
tries to call it then you'll get a link error.

I change the move function for thread from boost 1.35 in order to fix
an issue with gcc. I'll see what I can come up with. Please raise a
trac ticket so I don't forget, as I'm rather snowed under right now.
