I'm a Metrowerks expert, but not a boost expert.  Your project is set 
up to use MSL C which correctly puts ptrdiff_t into namespace std.  The 
above code can't find ::ptrdiff_t because <cstddef> only defined 
std::ptrdiff_t.

It looks to me like BOOST_NO_STDC_NAMESPACE is being mistakenly defined 
somewhere.
