OK, here is the real fix to the problem.

Rehash: 

Compiling for tool "msvc-stlport" fails with these errors repeated for
many files:

C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\VC98\include\winbase.h(1011) : error C2733: second
C linkage of overloaded function 'InterlockedIncremen t' not allowed
C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\VC98\include\winbase.h(1009) : see declaration of
'InterlockedIncrement'
C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\VC98\include\winbase.h(1018) : error C2733: second
C linkage of overloaded function 'InterlockedDecremen t' not allowed
C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\VC98\include\winbase.h(1016) : see declaration of
'InterlockedDecrement'
C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\VC98\include\winbase.h(1026) : error C2733: second
C linkage of overloaded function 'InterlockedExchange ' not allowed
C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\VC98\include\winbase.h(1023) : see declaration of
'InterlockedExchange'

This problem occurs when the Platform SDK is installed. 

The PSDK include path must be searched before the standard MSVC
includes. The bjam tool adds -I"C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~3\VC98\include" to
the cl command line, so that is searched before the PSDK include path
which is specified in the environment. 

An immediate solution is to have the PSDK include path searched first,
using this bjam command line:

bjam -sTOOLS=msvc-stlport -sBUILD="debug release <stlport-iostream>on
<sysinclude>C:\Progra~1\MIFD68~1\Include\." -sSTLPORT_PATH=c:\etc

NOTE: "C:\Progra~1\MIFD68~1\Include\." is the short form of "C:\Program
Files\Microsoft SDK\Include" on my machine. YMMV.

This should probably be fixed in msvc-tools.jam which would somehow
check if the PSDK is installed (by checking the environment?) and added
to the header search path as needed.

BTW: I've added this to

Is that #define needed by STLPort, or is specific to the code you're
trying
to compile?
If it's the former, we should patch the toolset.

bjam -sBUILD="<stlport-iostream>on <define>_NTOS_=1" ...
