Also, I'm not really sure whether we should pre-emptively "fix" type_info::operator= like this. Bugfixes should be in response to actual bug reports.
type_info::operator== doesn't work across shared libraries with GCC's new ABI, and this is the accepted way to fix it. I grabbed the fix out of the Python lib (where presumably they've already had this bug report).
I fixed it pre-emptively; the bug was found during the prototyping stages of the new version of the library. Without a fix it would've been useless ;-) -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
