Yes, that is why I didn't add more STLport configurations to the
tests, yet. However, STLport's support for debugging is certainly an
interesting feature to use for many developers. So, there would still
be good use for STLport with recent gcc versions.
This is exactly our situation.  Our target applications actually run on 
an embedded coldfire board.  At this point, we're constrained to a 
gcc-2.95 derived toolchain, no stlport, and no boost ... on the target 
platform.  As time allows, we will be looking into the later toolchain 
and uClinux distributions.  For now we use STLport to support our 
development environment, simulation, and testing.  STLport assertion 
failures are fairly rare occurrances, but well worth the investment when 
they do happen.

ps. On a related note: do people have pointers to documentation on
what bugs exist in stlport 4.5.3, i.e. what gcc has fixed?

FWIW...

Today we managed to get our project over to gcc-3.3.1, 
STLport-4.5-0119, and boost 1.30.2.

There appears to be a disconnect in how boost and STLport handle 
_PTHREAD vs. BOOST_HAS_PTHREAD.  The workaround we used, for now, is 
to edit stlport/stl/_site_config.h and uncomment the line '#define 
_PTHREAD'. 
This seems like something that should be neccesary.

Clarification: I meant to say that I thought the workaround should NOT 
be neccesary and that boost should build with stlport without editing 
_site_config.h.

Teach me to post after a long day...

I'm currently considering adding gcc-3.3.1/stlport to the tests.
Since we are using boost/stlport/gcc-3.3.1... 

1) What kind of resources does it take to run the regression tests?
2) Would it be helpful if we ran them?  Could the community make use of 
our test results? How?

So far we aren't actually using a great deal of boost; threads and a 
shared pointer or two IIRC.
