STLport works very poorly on WinCE.  I have done some work to integrate 
it with the WinCE 4 (aka WinCE .NET) C++ library but have not yet 
completed that.

I can tell you you will probably need to change the line:
     # ifndef _STLP_WINCE
in stlport/new.h to be:
     # if !defined(_STLP_WINCE) || _WIN32_WCE+0 >= 400

Oh, in that case never mind the above.

It is a problem with your configuration.  Exceptions are a standard C++ 
feature and many Boost libraries require them.  You could probably 
change shared_ptr to work without them, but the alternative would be to 
abort() the program and that's probably not satisfactory.
