I don't know if this might be of help. I'm using cxx 6.5 under OpenVMS and
have had some (perhaps) related problems; not sure about Tru64 though:

- The <cxxx> headers are missing so I included
<boost/compatibility/cpp_c_headers> in the include path. I guess you've
already done that (or the Tru64 version include them) as you don't get
compilation warnings from the #include statement.
- I also found the switch "/standard=strict_ansi" useful to get ansi
violation warnings. Don't know the name under Tru64 though.
- I also seem to remember that I had to use the switch "/using_std" to
resolve some compilation problems when using the above switch. Looking at
the documentation I think it should really neither be necessary nor desired,
but ... perhaps just as a troubleshooter.
