If I am understanding you correctly, your attempts to build and/or use stock BPL is failing when building the quickstart demo?
If so, there is surely some issue with your build environment as Boost runs a series of automated regression tests which catch build failures. If I'm not right in understanding you correctly, please do explain further.
