Try a preprocess (-E) and make sure system_clock looks the way you think it should.  This could be a configuration error.  I just copy/pasted your sandbox chrono.hpp into a test file and compiled it fine using gcc-4.4.0.
Oh, I see. Tom Tam could be building on MinGW with gcc-4.4.0. I have sent him a mail to request your  suggestion.
BTW, gcc-4.3.4 didn't had the error on cygwin.
Thanks,
Vicente
P.S. I think that I will need to install MinGW on my PC.
Hi,

I have installed MinGW with gcc4.4.0 and you were right. You suggestion solve the issue. I suppose that gcc_4.4.0 report  an error that preceding version should report before, and that this is not a gcc-4.4.0 regression.

I have also installed MSVC and I have an issue with the ratio_fail_test1.cpp test. MSVC report a warning instead of an error.

I have added 

        [ compile-fail ratio_fail_test1.cpp : <warnings-as-errors>on ]

and all is right.

Is there another way to make MSVC report an error when there is an integral constant overflow?

Thanks a lot Howard for your help,
Vicente
