We'll need a PTHREADS expert on this one. The pthreads-win32
documentation, as well as Butenhof's book, define pthread_getspecific
as:
void* pthread_getspecific(pthread_key_t key);
However, the O'Reilly book, Pthreads Programming, agrees with your
manpage signature. Just taking a wild guess this may be something
that's changed during the POSIX standardization process and we may
need a Boost.Config option to handle this. But I don't know any of
this for sure so can't solve this issue with out help from others.
