[Boost-users] Building boost 1.33.1 with Comeau 4.3.3

I'm having problems trying to build boost 1.33.1 with comeau 4.3.3 on
Linux.

Firstly, I verified that the como compiler is working by creating a
'hello world' test program, and building it with the como compiler
and running it.

I tried to build Boost using the information at
http://www.boost.org/tools/build/v1/como-tools.html

For example,
$ tar -xjf boost_1_33_1.tar.bz2
$ cd boost_1_33_1
$ bjam -sTOOLS=como -sCOMO_PATH=/cc -sCOMO_INCLUDE_PATH=/cc/lib
-sCOMO_STDLIB_PATH=/cc stage

This results in numerous errors:

Building Boost.Regex with the optional Unicode/ICU support disabled.
Please refer to the Boost.Regex documentation for more information
(and if you don't know what ICU is then you probably don't need it).

Am I doing something stupid?  For what it's worth, I've been using
boost with gcc for quite some time now with no problems, but decided
to give it a try with comeau, but no luck yet.

I have searched online for solutions to this, but couldn't find any
solutions that work for me.
