Title:
  backport patch for Ticket#12371 on libboost-thread

Status in boost1.58 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  On Xenial, while building code using boost thread like in
  https://github.com/shadow-robot/sr_core/blob/indigo-
  devel/sr_utilities/include/sr_utilities/thread_safe_map.hpp

  I encountered this bug 
  https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/12371

  }}}

  applying a similar patch to Ticket#12371 on 1.58 fixes the issue.

  
  Might be a very specific use-case, but would be nice to backport this fix on LTS.

  thanks
