I looked at it a bit as well, and got the same result with the 5.3 
compiler. FWIW, this bug has been fixed in the latest version of the 
compiler (CC 5.4, Forte 7), which complies and passes all the unit 
tests, without defining BOOST_REGEX_NO_EXTERNAL_TEMPLATES.

Perhaps a later patch to Sun CC 5.3 fixes this issues?
