Borland 5.5.1, STLPort, and regex

A few questions about this configuration...

I'm trying to compile Boost 1.28.0 using Borland C++ 5.5.1 with the 
STLPort 4.5.3 STL. I get the following errors on files which include 
the regex/config.hpp file:

libs\regex\build\../src\c_regex_traits.cpp:
Error E2272 D:\Tools\Boost\boost_1_28_0\boost/regex/config.hpp 538:

I believe this all has to do with the various C standard library 
symbols (e.g. fseek) not being "known" when placed in the 
using ::<symbol> construct. I've wandered through the various 
config.hpp files, the stuff for platform, compiler, and stdlib, etc. 
It would seem that the right set of stuff is being picked but there's 
some unexpected behavior being encountered when #include-ing standard 
headers from STLPort via Borland. Any ideas on correcting this?

Other, somewhat related, questions:

If I build w/o STLPort, things seem OK. The regex static libraries 
are placed in a "runtime-link-dynamic" directory. Threads, on the 
other hand, has that directory as well as a "runtime-link-static" 
directory variation. Does the directory name imply which version of 
the compiler's RTL is required when linking w/ that version of the 
Boost library? And is there a reason that regex didn't have 
a "runtime-link-static" directory and associated static library 
created? I want to statically link the RTL and boost w/ my app.

Finally, how do I go about creating just a single boost library (so I 
can try building threads w/ STLPort w/o encountering the regex 
errors).

Many thanks,
