Dinkumware puts the names in std:: when _GLOBAL_USING is #defined to 1 in
<yvals.h>. The configuration header "boost/config/stdlib/dinkumware.hpp"
tries to detect this:

#  if !(defined(_GLOBAL_USING) && (_GLOBAL_USING+0 > 0)) && !defined(_STD)
// can be defined in yvals.h
#     define BOOST_NO_STDC_NAMESPACE
#  endif

I don't know why it doesn't work for you; probably because of the
defined(_STD) check.
