There's still quite a lot more you need to do to get things even close
to working!

I'm still running 1.32.0 with a set of patches I picked up on
http://forum.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=5&threadID=23793.

I know this states that it's for Studio 10, just change 0x570 to 0x580
for Studio 11.

Also, you need to compile (as stated in that thread) with:
bjam -sTOOLS=sunpro \
   -sSUNPRO_ROOT_DIRECTORY="<path>/" \
   -sSUNPRO_CXX="CC -library=stlport4" \
   stage

The -library=stlport4 argument will give you the bundled STLport
library, which is far closer to what Boost needs than the default STL
implementation.

I hope that helps a bit (and no, I haven't got anything more recent running!).
