I think this is because gcc-3.4 was released after Boost-1.31 and 
consequently there are a lot of changes to libstdc++3 in gcc-3.4 that don't 
get auto-detected in the Boost.config system.  This is fixed in current 
mainline cvs, so you could try replacing boost/config/stdlib/libstdcpp3.hpp 
with an updated version (attached).
