I get this too when using Code Warrior for PlayStation2 with
<boost/smart_ptr.hpp>.

It appears that the compiler-supplied <cstddef> simply contains #include
<stddef.h>, so ptrdiff_t is not getting defined in the std namespace.  Doing
this:

    namespace std{using ::ptrdiff_t;}
    #include <boost/smart_ptr.hpp>

fixes it, but I'm not sure that this is strictly allowed.

If anybody knows a better fix, please let me know.

Martin.
