I used to be able to build this, but since the boost.build stuff came along, I've been completely unable to build anything at all. The documentation is worse than useless because it's so self-contradictory....
I just tried it myself and experience no problem. Could you give more information about the problem you experience. There is a small glitch though because of the <status> stuff but if you first go to the boost/libs/regex/build directory and launch your `jam -sBOOST_ROOT=<your boost-root>` there you should'nt have any problem.
