[Boost-build] problems linking mulit_index tests

Hi,

I am not sure if this is the right place for this post.
If not, please let me know where should I post this.

Using msvc71 on WinXP
Using stlport  5.1.3 and downloaded boost 1.34.1 (not from cvs )

I am getting in many places this linker error:
test_comparison.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol 
"__declspec(dllimport) public: unsigned int __thiscall 
stlpd_std::basic_string<wchar_t,class

I saw that when compiling the filesystem library, DateTime and other,
but I was surprised when I saw that also when compiling 
libs\multi_index\test
as the author clearly reports no errors in a library configuration 
similar to mine

I used the command (inside that directory )
bjam toolset=msvc-7.1  stdlib=stlport

Many libraries are compiling and linking correctly.
If I compile from the command line, without stlport, both with vc71 or 
vc80 everything seems ok.
But I need to use stlport.

If you have any hints I will be thankful,
Marcello
