I don't use STLPort, but you might try a slight modification to
boost/config/suffix.hpp.

Search for BOOST_NO_STDC_NAMESPACE, and you'll see the line:

namespace std { using ::ptrdiff_t; using ::size_t; }

Try adding "using ::ctype;" into the list of using declarations. This may
not work, though; I don't know if a using declaration can nominate the name
of a template.
