Hmmm, that symbol is always in the library, the only thing I can think of at 
present is that the library build did not in fact have STLport in it's 
include path.  Oh wait a minute, if this is a debug build you are defining 
__STL_DEBUG aren't you?  The bjam built libs are always built with this 
defined, so the debug build of your app will need to be as well in order to 
link against them.

HTH,  John.
