This is the end of the output for config_info (using mingw32):

Boost version 103100
    BOOST_USER_CONFIG                       =<boost/config/user.hpp>
    BOOST_COMPILER_CONFIG

    BOOST_PLATFORM_CONFIG

    BOOST_DEDUCED_TYPENAME                  =typename
    BOOST_HAS_FTIME                          [no value]

    BOOST_NESTED_TEMPLATE                   =template

    BOOST_STD_EXTENSION_NAMESPACE           =std
    BOOST_UNREACHABLE_RETURN(0)              [no value]

from what you said i do not see here BOOST_STDLIB_CONFIG , neither 
appear some of the following you pointed out:

BOOST_NO_CWCHAR                          [no value]
BOOST_NO_CWCTYPE                         [no value]
BOOST_NO_HASH                            [no value]
BOOST_NO_MS_INT64_NUMERIC_LIMITS         [no value]
BOOST_NO_SLIST                           [no value]
BOOST_NO_STD_WSTREAMBUF                  [no value]
BOOST_NO_STD_WSTRING                     [no value]
BOOST_NO_SWPRINTF                        [no value]

is there something wrong with the compiler or my makefile?
