You're right. It's an ABI change and thus ideally it should be a non-free feature (unlike <define>) in the build system so binaries so built are distinguished from one another. But the question remains whether we should be providing the libraries built both ways as part of the default installation. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
