8162,lexical_cast is using math::changesign with long double regardless of whether BOOST_MATH_NO_LONG_DOUBLE_MATH_FUNCTIONS is defined or not.,Eric Niebler,Antony Polukhin,"Line 1399-1400 of `boost::lexical_cast` looks like this:

{{{
long double result = std::pow(10.0L, pow_of_10) * mantissa;
value = static_cast<T>( has_minus ? (boost::math::changesign)(result) : result);
}}}

It turns out that this causes problems in the guts of Boost.Math when `BOOST_MATH_NO_LONG_DOUBLE_MATH_FUNCTIONS` is defined. This is causing Boost.Test build failures. See for instance [http://tinyurl.com/af5453h], which at the time of writing shows:

Aside: there is no entry for lexical_cast in libs/maintainers.txt. There should be.
