What happens when you issue these commands at the command prompt in
the same directory?  That is,

    set PATH=C:\Program Files\Borland\CBuilder6\bin\;%PATH%
    "C:\Program Files\Borland\CBuilder6\bin\bcc32"  -v -q -v -tWR -tWD -WM- -L "C:\Program Files\Borland\CBuilder6\lib" -e"libs\regex\build\bin\boost_regex.dll\borland\debug\runtime-link-dynamic\boost_regex_debug.dll" @"libs\regex\build\bin\boost_regex.dll\borland\debug\runtime-link-dynamic\boost_regex_debug.CMD"
