OK, I've had to patch boost/config/stdlib/stlport.hpp to support that
configuration, modified source is in the cvs as usual (I've attached it to
this mail as well).

Yes, "runtime-link-static" means the dll C-runtime and runtime-link-static
means the static C-runtime.  The latter isn't built by default by the
Jamfiles (although it is by the supplied makefiles for regex -- I would
recommend that you use these if you can with C++ Builder as it makes linking
easier- see the regex introductory docs).  If you want to use Jam then there
should be a command line option to pass to Jam to get it to build static
runtime versions (you will want to turn on threading support as well if you
are using the MT-runtime) but I'm not familiar enough with Jam to be able to
just tell you what it is.

Isn't that what you have now - thread lib built and ready to go?
