Comment:

 Same problem here, using Boost 1.48. The target platform is MS Windows CE
 6 with STLport 5.2 and MSVC 8.0 (VS 2005). There is a workaround in a
 different place already that simply checks

 {{{
   #if defined(UNDER_CE)
     // some CE platforms don't define ::abort(), let alone std::abort()
     exit(-1);
   #else
     abort();
   #endif
 }}}

 I have found other places that use abort() to e.g. mark code as
 unreachable. They could use similar workarounds. I'm just in the process
 of migrating to 1.48 but I should be able to produce a patch for this.

 See also bug #5213.
