Hello, I'm building boost 1.34.1 on linux (with redhat 9 gcc 3.2.2-5) with STLport 5.0 and ICU.

I googled a bit and found this: http://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2006/02/17394.php but there was no follow up. Is there some mistake in my example? Does somebody have any suggestions or workarounds? I know that gcc 3.2.2 is quite old but I have used it for many years and always convinced it to do its work (and no, I cannot easily switch to a newer compiler). Any help will be really appreciated; cheers, Michele
