Are you referring to ticket #559? If so, I built 1.34.1 from the top, 
i.e. I ran

bjam toolset=gcc-3.4.5 stage

Which is the MinGW gcc 3.4.5 compiler on my PC and got no filesystem 
related error whatsoever. The only errors I found regard the 
serialization library and are triggered by a #error directive.

I also rebuilt the filesystem library by changing directory to 
libs/filesystem/build and running

bjam -a toolset=gcc-3.4.5

and again I got no errors. I would say you may close the ticket.

Cheers,
Nicola
