The usual workaround is described in boost/config.h :

//  BOOST_NO_STDC_NAMESPACE:
//  [...] a workaround must be provided in the boost header:
//
//    #include <cstdlib>  // for abs
//    #ifdef BOOST_NO_STDC_NAMESPACE
//      namespace std { using ::abs; }
//    #endif

Does that need to be added to the header?
