They are not, but the question is what is meant by
BOOST_NO_STRINGSTREAM? Does it mean that std::stringstream is not
supported and/or that std::basic_stringstream is not supported? The
lexical_cast code assumes that <sstream> is not standard if
BOOST_NO_STRINGSTREAM is defined, and that it is standard if it is not
defined. Clearly, the contents of <sstream> are not standard otherwise
the code would compile.

Either we need to clarify the intent of BOOST_NO_STRINGSTREAM or we need
to added another feature test macro, eg BOOST_NO_BASIC_STRINGSTREAM or
no BOOST_NO_STD_SSTREAM. My preference is that we generalise the meaning
of BOOST_NO_STRINGSTREAM, so that if that macro is defined the
programmer cannot assume standard string stream support, which --
judging by the error messages -- which is the case.
