The above patch will tie you to -library=stlport4 though. The boost
mini howto on the same blog,
http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/sga?entry=boost_mini_howto, says you
need to build programs linking against boost with:
  -library=stlport4 -features=tmplife -features=tmplrefstatic

I suppose this means if your boost program links against any 3rd-party
libraries, they must be compiled with the above as well.

Is stlport4 "better" than Cstd?
