Comment (by Andrew Ho <helloworld922@…>):

 After digging through the Boost configs, it seems that these defines are
 part of visualc.hpp:


 {{{
 #if defined(_WIN32_WCE) || defined(UNDER_CE)
 // Windows CE does not have a conforming signature for swprintf
 #  define BOOST_NO_SWPRINTF
 #endif

 // we have ThreadEx or GetSystemTimeAsFileTime unless we're running
 WindowsCE
 #if !defined(_WIN32_WCE) && !defined(UNDER_CE)
 #  define BOOST_HAS_THREADEX
 #  define BOOST_HAS_GETSYSTEMTIMEASFILETIME
 #endif
 }}}

 This probably should be included in win32.hpp, or perhaps in a new
 platform config file wince.hpp.

 Perhaps this is a better option? I still think the changed no
 _beginthreadex may work betterh, though, as we probably shouldn't be
 typdef'ing uintptr_t anyways.

 Added an updated patch which fixes both win32/thread.hpp as well as the
 threadex wince platform config.
