I've just tried building it with the July build of Visual Studio
2005/VC8 , and it failed to update 8 targets. bjam output is below...

This is getting ridiculous, seems like you can't use any part of the
std lib with that compiler without having to work around thousands
of warnings.
I guess calling std::equal is dangerous if
you don't check the lengths of the sequences first (I do though!),
and in any case it shouldn't be an error!
IMHO these errors aren't due to deprecation, but rather to "ambiguous
call to overloaded function".
Can you see if the following snippet will compile:
const char* p1, *p2, *p3;
std::equal(p1, p2, p3);
It doesn't. Here is the output:
