boost.test: problems with test source code that uses `chrono` and defines a test suite

My setup:

My test file:

// test.cpp
#define BOOST_TEST_MAIN
#define BOOST_TEST_MODULE a_nice_testing_attempt
#include <boost/test/included/unit_test.hpp>  // this is available

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE(MyNiceTestSuite)  // (*)

#include <chrono>
// actually I want to test much more, but I narrowed
// the problem down to this minimal snippet

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END() // (*)

Then I try to compile as: g++ test.cpp -o test.exe

And get a bunch of errors (>1700 lines to be precise). Here's some at the very top:

In file included from C:/msys64/mingw64/include/c++/12.2.0/bits/chrono.h:37,
                 from C:/msys64/mingw64/include/c++/12.2.0/chrono:39,
                 from test_main.cpp:17:

And some from the bottom:

td::filesystem::__file_clock, int>}

If I remove the lines marked with the astherisk (i.e. BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE related), then it compiles without a problem. Unfortunately I am unable to progress from here and my question is rather vague:

  • what is going on here and how could I solve it?
