Boost threads compile with Sun WS6U2?

Hi all,

I'm working on a multithreaded application on Sun Solaris 8 with Sun
Workshop 6 update 2 installed.
Currently my application uses the pthreads library.
I've been looking at the Boost.threads library and I would like to use
this instead of pthreads.

I see that the Sun WS compiler is not in the supported toolsets list and
there is no appropriate jam file available.
In the Compiler Status: solaris page I see that this compiler is being
tested, but no refference to the threads lib.

Can anybody point me in the right direction as how I should build this
lib in my environment?
Is it enough if I try to create a jam file?
Has anybody already done this (preferably for release 1_28)?
What is the reason this compiler is not in the supported toolsets list?

Kind regards,

Peter Nyssen
