And this:

int const tail_bits = turbo_enc_1_15::TAIL_BITS;

...
.setattr("TAIL_BITS", tail_bits)

?

Note that the class_<>::setattr() method still takes a reference of its 
second argument, which, if the compiler doesn't optimize it away, emits 
a symbol reference. So, introducing this local 'tail_bits' variable has 
basically the same effect as defining turbo_enc_1_15::TAIL_BITS. The 
latter would obviously be the more proper solution to your problem, but 
if you don't want or can't do that, such a local variable may be a 
viable workaround. (Not sure how portable it is, though.)
