no problem, i'm 'late' too ;) ...i was quite busy so i put this on pause as 
peter seems to have provided what you wanted...however if you still wish to 
work/try/help with my changes we can perhaps still try a few things... ;)

i doubt the problem is with BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT as it is used in other places 
in boost.function as well as other libraries...
the problem is probably with the is_stateless<> trait...
...it would seem odd that the same compiler supports a particular trait on one 
platform but not on the other so you should first do the two things previously 
mentioned:
 - verify that the MSVC++ 8.0 compiler that you use for the xbox has service 
pack 1 and all the latest patches installed
 - if the above does not fix the problem (or the compiler is fully patched) try 
replacing the is_stateless<> check with the equivalent more primitive type 
traits (as outlined in one of my previous posts)

i've also uploaded a new version that, along other less important changes, 
fixes an issue with assignement/construction from boost::function<> 
instantiations with different signatures that in the process also removed some 
sfinae usage...so it perhaps might also fix some of the other errors you've 
been encountering...
tomorrow i'll move my modifications to the boost sandbox svn to ease this 
process a bit...

as for the SN System compiler i'm afraid i cannot help there (i've actually 
never heard of that compiler before)...
