Let me see, some of them are failing because integer_traits is not correctly 
set up, see for example 
http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/CVS-HEAD/developer/output/Dramatec-bin-boost-status-crc_test-test-qcc-3-3-5-gpp-debug.html

Does QNX have a wchar.h at all?  And if so does it define 
WCHAR_MAX/WCHAR_MIN ?

If not, if you can tell me whether wchar_t is signed or unsigned and what 
size it is then I can patch that header up.

Failures like this one: 
http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/CVS-HEAD/developer/output/Dramatec-bin-boost-libs-date_time-test-testfacet-test-qcc-3-3-5-gpp-debug.html 
are because there's no library wide character streams support, take a look 
at the mingw results (another platform with poor wide character library 
support), if they've been marked up as expected there's a good chance the 
QNX ones should be as well.

But if we get integer_traits fixed first then you can see what new passes 
you get.
