However, it's impossible to use any C++ code that include *any* part of std cause it makes the resulting binary too big for the spu linker. For some boost libraries, the std include is merely used for some optionnal display. For others, large parts of functionnalities is made useless.

How does including a header generate bigger executables? I would say it's linking against the standard library that is a problem or not. Ideally, a good compiler should also be able to remove unused symbols at link-time, making that a non-issue.
