Thanks for the information. The strange thing is that it builds
fine on Debian (32-bit and 64-bit), which is very similar to
Ubuntu.

However, I still don't have any idea how to solve that issue.
It could be a combination of a bug in the native GCC which
causes a bug in the compiled Mingw-cross-GCC.

As the last two TDM-GCC releases were complete crap, at least
for our purposes, it might be time to switch back from TDM-GCC
to the official MinGW-GCC.

Do you have the time to do some tests? I.e., to download and
compile the current MinGW-GCC, and to manually compile the
current Boost with it? That would be a great help for the
decision.
