Hi all,

I tried building boost 1.53 ASIO examples under cygwin and it didn't  
worked with bjam or b2 respectively. Then I used "bjam -n" to get the  
invoked commands in order to further track down the issue. I end up  
with the following command to compile an example

  "g++"  -ftemplate-depth-128 -O0 -fno-inline -Wall -g -mthreads   
-DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1 -DBOOST_CHRONO_DYN_LINK=1  
-DBOOST_SYSTEM_DYN_LINK=1 -DBOOST_SYSTEM_NO_DEPRECATED  
-DBOOST_THREAD_BUILD_DLL=1 -DBOOST_THREAD_POSIX  
-DBOOST_THREAD_USE_DLL=1  -I"../../../.." -o  
"blocking_udp_echo_server" "blocking_udp_echo_server.cpp"   
-D__USE_W32_SOCKETS -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0501  
../../../../bin.v2/libs/thread/build/gcc-4.5.3/release/link-static/threading-multi/libboost_thread.a  ../../../../bin.v2/libs/system/build/gcc-4.5.3/release/link-static/threading-multi/libboost_system.a -lws2_32  
-lmswsock

and I got the following errors:

The error messages boils down to the use of "__MSABI_LONG(x)" within  
an enumeration definition. __MSABI_LONG is a macro that has to be  
resolved during the cpp run but isn't but  it seems not to be known at  
this point.

I also tested the boost version 1.52 and there are none of these  
issues and it worked like it is intended.
