If you build all of boost from the root directory you should get threaded 
lib's as well as the thread-unsafe versions, but from libs/regex/build then:

export BUILD="<threading>multi"
bjam stage

should do the trick.

You can always double check the status of the lib by building and then 
running the regex_config_info.cpp test program: it will output the values of 
all the config macros that are set and BOOST_HAS_THREADS should be one of 
them.

HTH, John.
