In boost/libs/python/src/converter/registry.cpp, I found:

I have no idea what defining that big long symbol does,
I put it in to work around a nasty static initialization bug. I had not clue what I was doing but thanks to the bad hack enabled by BOOST_PYTHON_CONVERTER_REGISTRY_APPLE_MACH_WORKAROUND I got Boost.Python to work under OS X 10.2 eventually. I think I was using gcc 3.3 from gcc.gnu.org at the time.
but I think that the conditionals are incorrect.
I am sure they are not pretty but they certainly did the job.
So, I think that that whole #if expression always evaluates to "false".
Nope. Install the old gcc 3.3 from gcc.gnu.org to verify. See also: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14232 How did you stumble over my hack? Does it cause any problems?
