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

 The problem is in Boost.Config and Boost.Thread.

 Obviously the work-arounds for Windows CE should not be used when
 compiling with MinGW (unless targeting Windows CE specifically), so
 Boost.Config must be changed.

 IMO Boost.Thread should also be changed because defining uintptr_t really
 shouldn't be done at all. I would imagine any modern compiler targeting
 Windows CE might have uintptr_t defined (it is standard C++ after all), in
 which case the compile will fail again.
