ok. So, you mean the codewarrior compiler that was previously used for the 
regression must have been linked statically to the C++ lib, while the new 
one is linked dynamically, and thus locale-disabled ?

I come to think, wouldn't it be better if the no-locale situation was 
implemented by having a fake 'locale' object and empty related functions ?
(allows writing locale-enabled code, and the compiler just ignores it)

in anycase, the lines causing the error here were the only ones I had left  
out of  #ifndef BOOST_NO_STD_LOCALE  blocks, so adding such #ifndef should 
fix the failure, with or without locales enabled in the codewarrior being 
used. I'll try that..
