[Boost-build] problem building boost using studio 12 compiler

I have taken one hurdle by modifying

./boost/wave/util/flex_string.hpp", line 529: Error: Formal argument 2 of type
> > void* .....
The problem was fixed by

Changing ....
    void* Alloc(size_type sz, const void* p = 0)
    {
        return A::allocate(1 + (sz - 1) / sizeof(E),
            static_cast<const char*>(p));
    }

TO:

     void* Alloc(size_type sz, const void* p = 0)
     {
         return A::allocate(1 + (sz - 1) / sizeof(E),
           static_cast<char*>(const_cast<void*>(p)));
     }

The static_cast in the original is not allowed

After that hurdle other problem show up, which I have posted in a previous mail.

I am afraid I have no option but to build boost for Solaris 10 x64 using the
studio 12 compilers. I have followed the instructions which are given on the
blogs web site and I do not understand that somebody was able to build boost if
the same code and the same compiler brings up errors for me.
