Nor me, the only time I've seen something like that is if you are building a
dll, but a symble declared dllexport is absent from any of the source
files - for example if a source file was missing from your project file.

The only thing I can think of is to uncomment the line:

// #define BOOST_REGEX_NO_W32
In boost/regex/user.hpp

and disable the direct win32 support altogether (so it just calls the C
runtime API's instead).
