As I understand it, Apache stdcxx is derived from the Rogue Wave standard 
library.  This library was used by the Solaris and perhaps some other compiler 
vendors.  There are a set of configuration macros supplied in boost.config 
supplied in the roguewave.hpp setup.  Various libraries have workarounds that 
are specific to this library. So the first step would probably be to use these 
for your initial configuration setup.  Perhaps boost.config should be changed 
to recognize the apache lib so it can be supported more directly in the future.

HTH,
