 Only a handful of boost libraries compile on sun solaris when
 compiled and linked with libCstd.
 Since we use extensively program_options I propose a patch that
 will make it build in this environment. I hope other patches
 will follow for other libraries since we need boost in our application.

 I attached a compile log with all errors and warnings that I get for
 the whole boost library.
 I also attached a tentative patch just for program-options.

 My environment:
 bash$ uname -a
 SunOS pegasus 5.10 Generic_118855-33 i86pc i386 i86pc
 pegasus ccremarenco /src/work/mw/boost_1_39_0-sunstudio11-libcstd-nopatch/
 bash$ CC -V
 CC: Sun C++ 5.8 Patch 121018-11 2007/05/02

 Below only the errors for program-options,
 specifically options-description.cpp that fails to build:
 "libs/program_options/src/options_description.cpp", line 341: Error: Could
