So it looks like all the code has to use ansi or arm, since I have a LOT of stuff compiled in the arm mode, it would be better to build boost using the "-sBUILD=<object-model>arm" switch, however now I'm back to compile errors:

cxx: Error: /adp/local/src/boost_1_32_0/libs/program_options/build/../src/convert.cp p, line 62: #434 a reference of type "wchar_t *&" (not const-qualified) cannot be initialized with a value of type "wchar_t [32]" detected during instantiation of "std::basic_string ...

The problem here is that the name mangling scheme in the arm object model is limited and cannot express the full scope of ISO C++. That's why we have chosen to use the ansi object model as the default object model. A small isolated sample that works around the problem is: ---%<--- #include <iostream> using namespace std; template <typename T> void foo(T const &x) { cout << "1" << endl; } template <typename T> void foo(T * const &x) { cout << "2" << endl; } int main() { #ifdef __MODEL_ARM foo("abc"); #else foo("abc"); #endif return 0; } --->%--- This should get you going if you want to make boost 1.32.0 work with the arm object model.
