Thanks for your help! I could build Boost 1.34.1 successfully -  
stdlib=sun-stlport did the trick. After reading a comparison between  
libCstd and libstlport at  
http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/cmp_stlport_libCstd.html it  
might be a good idea for Boost to automatically choose stlport when Boost  
is built on Solaris?
