What options are you using to compile your sample code?
I tried CC -I<boost-path> -library=stlport4 -mt -c fail.cpp and it works
fine for Sun Studio 11 (CC 5.8), Sun Studio 12 (CC 5.9), Solaris Studio
12.2 (CC 5.11) and 12.3 (CC 5.12). All of them compile this without errors,
both with and without -mt option (single/multi-threaded version).
Unfortunately I have no Sun Studio 12.1 so this may be a bug specific to
this version or even patch set.
Tried with Boost 1.59.0 and 1.60.0.

If you are using the same options, is there a possibility you have patched
Boost or your system/stlport headers in any way? Maybe your
boost/config/user.hpp contains some customizations which might affect the
code?

If feel the error does not come from any manipulations on compiler/Boost
headers, would you mind attaching the output file created by CC when you
replace -c with -P?
