I looked around a bit and I see that the toolset was modified in May: -std
strict_ansi was removed. IMO this is not the best idea. All of Boost.Python
compiles and works with -std strict_ansi. And this works as well:

% cat test.cpp
#include <cctype>

int main()
{
  std::toupper('c');
  return 0;
}

cxx -std strict_ansi -tlocal test.cpp

I am afraid I don't have time to fix the toolset. What I can offer is ssh
access to our machine and the compiler/linker commands that work for
Boost.Python (I am using SCons).
