Hmm, I don't seem to have the rights to close issues. Anyway I committed a fix for this at ​https://github.com/boostorg/thread/commit/26042ca26a9783c9055a40ada6b8bb26d3dd65b6

Have you tried to assign the issue to you?

Anyway I committed a fix for this at ​https://github.com/boostorg/thread/commit/26042ca26a9783c9055a40ada6b8bb26d3dd65b6

Is this fix also needed ​https://github.com/boostorg/thread/commit/78f1044c684eaf660cfb2d1bbdfd6c4a84087db6?

Yes, the next commit undoes the special behaviour for Mingw32 on Mingw64 which is not stupidly broken.

I cannot assign myself this problem. Nor modify it, my only Action is leave as new.
