+/// !!! IMPORTANT THIS IS A HACK FOR BOOST HEADERS ONLY BUILDING !!!!
+///
+/// As of #5215 (Kea 1.3) The default build configuration is to link with
+/// Boost's system library (boost_system) rather than build with Boost's
+/// headers only. Linking with the boost_system eliminates the issue as
+/// detailed below. This file exists solely for the purpose of allowing
+/// people to attempt to build headers only. ISC DOES NOT RECOMMEND
+/// building Kea with Boost headers only.
+///
+/// This file must be included anywhere one would normally have included
+/// boost/asio.hpp. Until the issue described below is resolved in some
+/// other fashion, (or we abandon support for headers only building)
+/// asio.hpp MUST NOT be included other than through this file.
+///
+/// The optimizer as of gcc 5.2.0, may not reliably ensure a single value
+/// returned by boost::system::system_category() within a translation unit
+/// when building the header only version of the boost error handling.
+/// See Trac #4243 for more details. For now we turn off optimization for
+/// header only builds the under the suspect GCC versions.
+///
+/// The issue arises from in-lining the above function, which returns a
+/// reference to a local static variable, system_category_const. This leads
+/// to situations where a construct such as the following:
+///
+/// {{{
+/// if (ec == boost::asio::error::would_block
+/// || ec == boost::asio::error::try_again)
+/// return false;
+/// }}}
+///
+/// which involve implicit conversion of enumerates to error_code instances
+/// to not evaluate correctly. During the implicit conversion the error_code
+/// instances may be assigned differing values error_code:m_cat. This
+/// causes two instances of error_code which should have been equal to
+/// to not be equal.
+///
+/// The problem disappears if either error handling code is not built header
+/// only as this results in a single definition of system_category() supplied
+/// by libboost_system; or the error handling code is not optimized.
+///
+/// We're doing the test here, rather than in configure to guard against the
+/// user supplying the header only flag via environment variables.
+///
+/// We opened bugs with GNU and BOOST:
+///
+/// https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=69789
+/// https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/11989
+///
+/// @todo Version 6.0 will need to be tested.
+///
+/// As of 2016-08-19, the version 5.4.0 from Ubuntu 16.04 is affected. Updated
+/// the check to cover everything that is not 6.0, hoping that 6.0 solves the
+/// problem.
