Hello everyone,

I'm running into trouble with STLport 5.1.6 when errno.h is included 
after cerrno. The problem occurs for instance when including boost::asio 
header files before those of boost::thread. The problem is that it 
checks whether or not errno is already defined. I think that this should 
be considered an STLport feature/bug more than it is a boost::thread 
issue. But still I was wondering if there is a reason that boost::thread 
includes errno.h instead of cerrno (or even boost/cerrno.hpp).

When I substitute cerrno for errno.h my compile problems disappear. Is 
it possible to make this change to pthread/mutex.hpp and 
pthread/recursive_mutex.hpp?

Thanks in any case,
