Description
As noted in this thread: http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2010/01/160448.php all global symbols whether macros or extern "C" functions should start with a "boost_" prefix - both to avoid polluting the global namespace as far as is possible, and to make boost-related symbols readily identifiable and searchable.
Boost.Test has the global symbol "execution_monitor_jumping_signal_handler" which should probably be "boost_execution_monitor_jumping_signal_handler", likewise for "execution_monitor_attaching_signal_handler".

Note that these functions are static and are quite mangled already, so the chances of an error as a result of this are slim to none.
