It isn't good that we only find these errors in release candidates. Is it possible for the testers to do a binary build before running the tests? The test system doesn't catch these errors as the tests only run for compilers with the necessary C++11 features.

msvc-7 + msvc+8 are excluded from building boost.context the unit-tests are OK, msvc-12 does not compile .... the exception is teeks99-08-m-win2012R2-32on64 where the check-library fails at runtime

Did something change from 1.66? This wasn't an issue then.

It looks like execution_context used to have checks for BOOST_CONTEXT_NO_CXX11, but they were removed. So it would build okay without C++11, but I'm not sure why that would be needed.

BOOST_CONTEXT_NO_CXX11 is only for supporting boost.coroutine
