It relates to the use of BOOST_MPL_HAS_XXX_TRAIT_DEF which is apparently 
broken for this compiler (sadly we appear to have no one testing this 
compiler at present, so this has gone unnoticed).  You could try looking at 
the details in boost/mpl/has_xxx.hpp and seeing if you can fix the core 
issue, or you could just modify regex_traits.hpp to work around the issue - 
take a look at the workarounds that are already in place for

#if !defined(BOOST_NO_TEMPLATE_PARTIAL_SPECIALIZATION) && 
!BOOST_WORKAROUND(__HP_aCC, BOOST_TESTED_AT(55500))

(In two places) and apply these for your compiler as well.  If you can let 
me have your compiler identification macro and current it's current value, 
then I'll apply fixes to cvs.

HTH, John.
