The gcc-2.95.3-linux toolset uses gcc 2.95.3 without
STLport. <ostream> and other headers are missing from
the standard library implementation shipped with gcc 2.

The gcc-2.95.3-stlport-4.5.3-linux toolset uses STLPort.
There a file named ostream in includes/stlport.
There's a switch (_STLP_OWN_IOSTREAMS) that selects
between native and STLPort's <ostream>. The STLPort
library on the test system is compiled to use STLPort's
own stream implementation.
