[Boost-users] Failing to compile Boost.Threads 1.33.0 with Borland C++

Hi,

I've just upgraded from 1.32.0 to 1.33.0, and now when I try to build Boost.
Threads with Borland C++, I just get a lot of errors, as shown below.

I've compiled with several other compilers, and it all went fine. I'm using 
Borland C++ 5.6, the one that comes with Borland C++Builder 6, and I have no 
problems building Boost.Threads from the 1.32.0 distribution .

The regression test table seems to indicate it should work, so what am I 
missing?

Thanks.
