This is similar in nature to #4258 - #4258 reports this problem only on mingw.

The _tls_used stuff is there to ensure correct cleanup of the per-thread data structures used by boost.thread. I do not know how to fix this for IA64.

Since what is there is broken at the moment, I could remove it entirely, and leave it to users to define boost::tss_cleanup_implemented(), and ensure that boost::on_thread_exit is called when every thread exits.

severity Showstopper → Problem

IA64 is not a tested platform, so this is not a "showstopper"

In the absence of a complete fix, I propose to either force BOOST_THREAD_DYN_DLL with this platform (which should be the define to test?) or as suggested by Anthony "leave it to users to define boost::tss_cleanup_implemented(), and ensure that boost::on_thread_exit is called when every thread exits."

Which option is OK for you?
