Boost compilation error

Question

I am trying to compile Boost 1_38_0 with Sun compiler (CC 5.9 on Solaris 10) but getting compilation errors.
uname -a
SunOS ss72edev06 5.10 Generic_127127-11 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440
CC -V
CC: Sun C++ 5.9 SunOS_sparc Patch 124863-01 2007/07/25
I get different sets of errors. Below are some excerpts from the compilation output:
=================================================================================
"./boost/array.hpp", line 75: Error: Too few arguments for template std::reverse_iterator<boost::T*>.

My user-config.jam looks like:
===========================================
# Boost.Build Configuration
# Automatically generated by Boost configure
# Compiler configuration
using sun ;
# Python configuration
using python : 2.4 : /usr ;
==============================
And the Makefile contents are:
===================================
BJAM=./tools/jam/src/bin.solaris/bjam
BJAM_CONFIG= -sICU_PATH=/usr
prefix=/export/home/agoyal/boost_install_sun
exec_prefix=$(prefix)
libdir=$(exec_prefix)/lib
includedir=$(prefix)/include
LIBS=
all: .dummy
@echo "$(BJAM) $(BJAM_CONFIG) --user-config=user-config.jam $(LIBS)"
@$(BJAM) $(BJAM_CONFIG) --user-config=user-config.jam $(LIBS) || \
echo "Not all Boost libraries built properly."
clean: .dummy
rm -rf bin.v2
distclean: clean
rm -rf Makefile config.log
check: .dummy
@cd status && ../$(BJAM) $(BJAM_CONFIG) --user-config=../user-config.jam || echo "Some Boost regression tests failed. This is normal for many compilers."
install: .dummy
@echo "$(BJAM) $(BJAM_CONFIG) --user-config=user-config.jam --prefix=$(prefix) --exec-prefix=$(exec_prefix) --libdir=$(libdir) --includedir=$(includedir) $(LIBS) install"

Can someone help what am I doing wrong here?

Thanks. Yes, stlport was one of the issues. There are few other changes too. I found them in another thread which lists the exact steps for compilation. Below is the link:
