Hi,

I'm having some compile warnings even when compiling very simple boost 
unit test code, using boost 1.39.0, gcc 4.3.2 on linux x86_64. see the 
source code at the end of the e-mail, but basically I get the following:

g++ -pedantic -ansi -Wno-long-long -Wall -W -O2 -L/tmp/boost/lib 
-I/tmp/boost/include -o tests tests.cpp

/tmp/boost/include/boost/test/floating_point_comparison.hpp:246: 
warning: ‘boost::test_tools::<unnamed>::check_is_small’ defined but not used

the source code is as simple as the following:

----------- 8< -------- cut here ----------

#include <boost/test/included/unit_test.hpp>

using namespace boost::unit_test;

test_suite *
init_unit_test_suite(int, char ** const) {

     return 0;
}

----------- >8 -------- cut here ----------

is this normal?
